See how sap is transformed into maple syrup at the GMF sugar house. Step inside to watch sap bubble into syrup and breathe in the rich, caramel scent of boiling sap, while learning how careful forest stewardship makes it all possible. It’s a cozy, educational stop for all ages and a true taste of early spring in the woods (samples available!).

Join GMF's Kate Regan-Loomis at the CT Land Conservation Conference as she and other members of the land conservation community dive into the significant and mutually beneficial relationship between land trust leaders and researchers.

Participants will develop core competencies in tree and shrub identification, explore the ecological processes that shape forest dynamics, and become familiar with a range of landowner goals and forest management approaches—from enhancing wildlife habitat to managing for timber or leaving land “forever wild.” Each module builds upon the last, ensuring participants leave with a well-rounded introduction to the science, values, and techniques behind responsible forest stewardship.
