Hey all, I thought I would share what I feel is a very cost effective means of mapping your sugarbush. The program is called OnX and it is available on mobile and web based applications, for a $30 annual subscription. The app also show landowner information that seems to be reasonably up to date.
Today I mapped out all my tapable sugar and black maples. There are many more but because the border neighbors I need to secure permission before drilling any holes. The woodlot behind me has 50+ tapable sugar maples on it and I hope to secure permission next year.
The first image is just the trees, the second is me proposed plan, lines drawn using ms paint.
