Uihlein Sugar Maple Field Station

The Uihlein Maple Research Forest, located in Lake Placid, NY, is a core asset of the Cornell Sugar Maple Program. Established in 1965 with the support of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Uihlein II, the 200-acre forest serves as an outdoor laboratory for the study of maple syrup production, forest management, forest health, and agroforestry. It is a leading research initiative in the northeast region, focusing on genetically improved, high sap sugar content maple trees and utilizing state-of-the-art equipment for sap collection and syrup processing.

The Uihlein Maple Research Forest not only conducts research projects but also shares its findings with maple producers and scientists through publications, trainings, and presentations. Additionally, it serves as an educational center for applied education and demonstration of modern syrup production, forest management, and agroforestry. The forest's sugar maple and birch taps directly support the long-term research and extension efforts of the Cornell Maple Program.
