Sugarbush Management

A sugarbush or sugar “orchard” is defined as an aggregate of maple trees within a specific area that are tapped for maple sap production. Sugarbushes are managed differently from forest stands managed for timber, wildlife, and other uses. Sugarbush management services include:

  • Planning to enhance health and productivity

  • Performing pre-commercial thinnings

  • Managing understory vegetation

  • Mapping and layout of trails and roads
