UW scientist tap into potential for maple syrup industry in Washington

SEATTLE - Farmers and the University of Washington scientists are tapping into the potential for a maple syrup industry in Western Washington.
UW Associate Professor Indroneil Ganguly and his team started a pilot program last year and produced maple syrup from bigleaf maple trees at one of its experimental forests. The project has now expanded to six additional sites.
