There are a couple producers on this site who get to tap some National Forest land. I have a friend I work with who approached the Forest Ranger Headquarters for the Geo. Washington National Forest and was told by them that it was not possible to use the National Forest for Maple Syrup Production. I believe he could have forced the issue, however I suspect they would have countered with it should not be allowed in any National Forest which could have caused problems for the one that have the privledge now. Maybe with a push in other states it may open up are Forests. There is a lot of Sugars in the National Forests of Virginia and West Virginia.
