Overview

There were 45 responses to the survey in total. The majority of producers who responded had less than 1000 taps and have not begun tapping (29 respondents). Respondents with between 1,000 – 5,000 taps have not begin tapping (9 respondents). Respondents with between 5,000 – 8,000 taps seem to have just started putting taps in (4 respondents). Producers with over 20,000 taps have tapped significant portions of their bush (3 respondents). Large producers who tapped early noted minor flows during early January thaws. Many producers noted the deep snow cover in their bush, and that tapping was going slowly as a result.
