ACER Roundtable

Apologies to those who get this in their email twice. I had a brain freeze or something today, and could not see what was clearly before my eyes. When I want to send group emails to the membership, I use the main website to add a new blog post and then it goes out through a tool called MailPoet. Today I could not find MailPoet on this site, and thought, “Oh My Goodness, I’ve been posting here and no one gets the emails! I should have used the members-only blog post.” But no, I was right all along, it’s the main site that I use, which has more members subscribed. So please forgive my confusion. Now that I have it in writing in this post, hopefully I won’t forget again.

Mike Rechlin asked me to send the below message out to the membership.

Also please remember to sign up for Maple Days if you want to participate, and if you have signed up and I have not added you to the map, check back tomorrow because I’m trying to tie up loose ends tonight.

Dear Maple Folks,


As the Southern Syrup Research Symposium was forced to cancel as a live event the organizing committee has moved some of the key presentations online. Last Thursday Ohio State hosted a session titled Extreme Weather and Other Climate Change Considerations in Maple Syrup Production by Aaron Wilson.  You can access a recording of that presentation at:  https://woodlandstewards.osu.edu/resources/webinars


Next week, January 20th at 7:00 pm, as part of our Out of the Woods series Future Generations will host a webinar by our own Jamie Schuler on research being done at WVU on The Timing of Tapping, which is something of interest to all of us this time of the year.


Finally, on January 28th at 1:00pm there will be a  roundtable discussion on Acer Access grants awarded to research institutions in the southern tier of maple producing states.  This is an afternoon event with short presentations on all the research projects. This is a 1:00 – 4:00 program, but feel free to join for whatever part of the program you can. To register and get a login to that Zoom session please go to: https://future-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_laIHoGpnQiW2cEeMYdcOVw


Happy Tapping Everyone.


Mike
