What is it about?
It is a variety of forest engineering services offered to maple sugar producers, such as:
- To calculate the number of taps in a targeted stand area (also called maple production potential assessment or taps potential assessment)
- To diagnose the sugar bush decadence
- To plan joint maple production and forest management
- To prepare a maple production plan
- To test the soil in order to detect nutrient deficiency or to check the pH
- To develop a business plan
- To prepare an application for a public forest lease contract or for an area expansion
- To prepare an application for a new quota
- To provide any of the conventional technical services: tree marking, outlining, flag tagging
You may ask for these services, whether you produce maple products for yourself or for resale.
What for?
Whether you are, or plan to become, a sugar shack owner or a maple syrup producer, these services may assist you in reaching informed investment decisions.
They are often useful to get to know the taps potential and to estimate the expected yield when you plan to sell or expand your sugar bush, or to buy one.
Here is what I offer
- To walk in your sugar bush with you
- To do flag tagging of the sugar bush
- To collect data required by the Producteurs et productrices acéricoles du Québec or by your regional union
- To develop a plan
Here is a bonus
