What has to be done the rest of the year for maple sugaring?
Immediately following sugaring, all of the sugaring equipment, buckets, and tubing must be washed and put away. In the summer and fall, fire wood must be cut and stacked, and the sugar woods must be maintained. In the winter, tubing must be checked and repaired from damage from moose and squirrels. In the early spring, trees are tapped, buckets are hung, and the season starts all over again!
