The University of Vermont is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Proctor Maple Research Center (PMRC).
Research on maple trees and syrup production was being conducted at UVM since the mid-1800s. The “Harvey Farm” was gifted to the University by Governor Mortimer Proctor in 1946 for use as a center for the study of maple trees. The first research and syrup production took place in 1947 and has continued non-stop ever since.
The Across the Fence Team in collaboration with PMRC and Extension personnel created a video that tells the story of maple research at UVM, past, present and future.
