Through a three-year USDA grant, UW–Madison Extension is helping to support and expand maple sugaring outreach and education efforts in the state. The project is geared toward private woodland owners, farmers, tribal communities, and other groups that have been overlooked by previous outreach efforts but are well positioned to take advantage of the economic, culinary and cultural benefits of sugaring.
Presenter Jeremy Solin, Area 7 Extension Director and former Extension Maple Syrup Project Manager, is a natural resources professional, small business owner, and fifth-generation syrup producer who understands the potential value of the industry to the state. He holds a PhD in sustainability education from Prescott College, a master's degree in environmental education from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and a bachelor’s in water resources from UW-Stevens Point.
