Maple Sap Collection Schedule

Two people may sign up to collect sap each day. Names of people who have already signed up are indicated below. Blank boxes indicate available dates. For any date(s) you wish to collect sap, please enter your name into the corresponding box(es), then submit the form.

Note: because it is possible for two people who don’t know each other to sign up to collect sap together, as your data are processed, an e-mail message window will also open to send a message to both people (or one, if only one is signed up) who are signed up to collect sap on that date . Do not cancel that message! Send it so that the two of you have each other’s e-mail addresses and can arrange a time to meet!

One person (one professor, one e-mail address) may sign up for several times at once. HOWEVER, be forewarned that if you choose to do so, your browser will attempt to open a separate e-mail window for each date you have chosen. Thus, if you choose to do that, please make sure they all get sent.

Sap Boiling “Babysitter” Schedule

One person at a time may sign up to “babysit” the sap while it is boiling. If a second person signs up for a time already claimed by a previous person, the first person will get credit for that time. This involves staying in the vicinity of the boiling sap (sitting nearby while doing homework is a good idea), possibly periodically adding additional sap, if needed, and especially, watching the sap “like a hawk” when the level is really low and turning off the heat before the finished syrup burns! Please sign up for two hours at a time — extra-credit points will be given based on 2 hr of time spent. You will need to check in with Nick, Fannie, or another member of the lab staff to verify your participation. Names of people who have already signed up are indicated below. For any date(s)/time(s) you wish to help, please enter the requested information into the corresponding boxes, then submit the form.
