Dave is working with a family of cooperators on an improved sugar maple trial in Franklin county, Maine. He met the family through their involvement with the county extension office and a local 4-H program. Bruce Tracy is the primary contact on this project, though Bruce, his father Albion, and his brother Pete, together run a family farm. They produce maple syrup, and raise beef cattle and hay. Pete also works as a forester on the side.

Dave also owns forested land in Franklin county, and he has started an improved sugar maple trial of his own. Dave is experimenting with a number of woodlot management practices. He taps "a few trees" and grows mayapples, mushrooms, and jack-in-the-pulpit. To the left you can see Dave with one of his trees.
