UVM celebrates the 75th Anniversary of the Proctor Maple Research Center

[DrTimPerkins]

The University of Vermont is celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Proctor Maple Research Center. Research on maple trees and syrup production was being conducted at UVM since the mid-1800s. The "Harvey Farm" was gifted to the University by Governor Mortimer Proctor in 1946 for use as a center for the study of maple trees. The first research and syrup production took place in 1947 and has continued non-stop ever since.

As a Vermonter, UVM Alum, and maple producer - congratulations Proctor Maple and all of the researchers and staff. You are our ROCK Maple Stars!

The Across the Fence segment was very cool.

Congratulations. Is there anything planned for a celebration? Of course with Covid that makes it more difficult.

A couple of different things but rolling them out at present is difficult. Probably a public event sometime this summer.
