You are correct Trapper. One of my neighbors whose land borders mine has 40 acres and had the DEC walk his land and flag the sugar maples for me when we first bought our house and I had hoped of buying a Ranger atv to trek over and collect buckets and even build a sugaring house. When I retire that may still be a possibility. For now I’ve taken up beekeeping for honey. Another neighbor and I have collectively planted an apple, peach and pear orchard which keeps the bees happy if I can only get them to survive the tough winters on my hill and the yellowjackets.
