This grant, offered by the Department of Agriculture, is for States, Tribal governments, and research institutions to bolster the domestic maple syrup industry. Its primary purpose is to foster comprehensive research and education initiatives related to maple syrup production, while also promoting natural resource sustainability crucial for the industry’s health. Furthermore, the grant aims to boost market promotion for maple syrup and maple-sap products. A key objective is to encourage private landowners with Acer species to either initiate or expand their maple-sugaring activities, or to voluntarily make their land available for public access for such activities, thereby expanding domestic maple production.
