Bird Friendly Maple Program

Bird-Friendly Maple is a new conservation based maple marketing initiative through the Audubon Society. “Through applied forest management, bird friendly maple producers strive to improve habitat quality in their sugarbushes to optimize breeding and foraging opportunities for forest birds in decline. The Bird-Friendly Maple project is a collaborative effort to integrate bird conservation with New York’s maple syrup industry.”

“To recognize and support participating maple producers for their good work, look for maple syrup containers with the label indicating that the syrup is Maple Managed for Birds.” The Bird-Friendly Certified Label is depicted below. Find out more: NY.Audubon.org.
