SUMMARY:Webinar:  Opportunities for birch and walnut sap
DESCRIPTION:Live 12:00 to 1:00 PM and again 7:00 to 8:00 PM\n\nWhereas
  most people are familiar with maple syrup production, very few people
  know that birch and walnut trees can also be tapped for their sweet s
 ap in the spring. The birch sap and syrup industry is well-established
  in Alaska and Europe, but there are opportunities for woodlot owners 
 and forest companies throughout North America where birch grows.  Sim
 ilarly, walnut syrup is a small niche that is serving a new market of 
 gourmet specialty syrups. Birch and walnut syrup have the potential to
  expand markets for existing maple syrup producers, and to provide eco
 nomic opportunities for woodlot and forest owners not previously invol
 ved in syrup production. This webinar will cover the opportunities and
  challenges with tapping these alternative tree species for sap and sy
 rup. Participants will gain an understanding of the timing of sap flow
 , expected yields per tap, processing differences when turning sap in 
 to syrup, and marketing opportunities with these unique products. If y
 ou are an existing maple producer who has ever considered adding birch
  or walnut tapping to your operation, or if you have access to a sizea
 ble birch or walnut resource, this webinar will help you decide whethe
 r this can be a viable option for you. \nPresented by Michael Farrell
