Event Details

Audubon Vermont, Richmond Community Kitchen, RiseVT, and Katie Webster, author of "Maple, 100 Sweet and Savory Recipes Featuring Pure Maple Syrup" are teaming up to bring you a sweet and savory evening celebrating certified maple syrup from bird-friendly habitats.

Forget about pancakes, learn exciting new ways to use maple syrup in your kitchen. From soup to salad, students will prepare a maple spiked feast! This will be an evening of hands-on learning and fun.

While most maple syrup can look and taste the same, it comes from forests that are managed in dramatically different ways. Park-like maple monocultures may appeal to our tidy aesthetic and increase sap production over the short-term, but they support relatively low numbers of bird species. In contrast, biologically and structurally diverse sugarbushes offer great places for birds to forage, find cover, and raise their young. The forests are also likely to have better long-term sap production, fewer forest health problems, and be better able to adapt to the stresses of climate change.
