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

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.

A variety of events are scheduled to take place over the next several months. Details to follow.

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.

Great Video, thanks for all that you do!
