The warmer days and cold nights couldn’t be more perfect for Central New York’s maple syrup producers as it’s their last chance to tap the sap! SUNY ESF maple producers in Tully already had to wait longer than usual this year due to the very cold winter temperatures. We sent WAER’s John Smith to Heiberg Forest to capture the sights and sounds from harvesting the sap to cooking up maple syrup in a wood-fired evaporator. Take a listen to the produced audio story.
