Leasing Taps on Vermont State Land

[OrangeAgain]

I would like to learn about leasing taps on Vermont state land.

Price per tap? Tied to bulk price of syrup? CPI increases? ....?

I would like to learn about leasing taps on Vermont state land.

Tapping on Vermont State Land is generally allowed in a few certain designated parcels. They have a list of conditions and the price calculation. For more information you should contact the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation.

Attached is the link for the details of sugaring on state land. One of my properties adjoins a mountain owned by the state with maples that are all well over 100 years old and the only value of the trees is firewood and sugaring. We submitted an application to tap the trees and were turned down. We were provided a map of the approved state lands for sugaring. That was about four years ago so things might have changed.
