The University of Vermont is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Proctor Maple Research Center (PMRC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
