Adopt a Sugar Maple

Sugar Maple at the Paul Smiths VICSugar Maple at the Paul Smiths VIC

Support the development of maple sugaring at the VIC by adopting a Sugar Maple tree for $50. We'll do the tapping, and you'll be investing in the education of an intern and the equipment to take loving care of the tree. The best part is you get a quart of maple syrup from “your tree” when it's ready! (Shipping not included.) Adoption papers are available at the VIC front desk. Makes a great gift!
