Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025, as Pure New York State Maple Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim March 2025 as Pure New York State Maple Month, highlighting the state's significant maple syrup industry and its importance to the local economy. The resolution emphasizes that New York is ranked second in maple syrup production in the United States, with over 2,000 maple sugar makers and the largest resource of tappable maple trees in the country. It notes that the Sugar maple tree was adopted as the state tree in 1956, and March is the prime time for harvesting maple sap due to the state's specific weather conditions. The resolution points out that New York's maple industry recently hit a 74-year record, producing 806,000 gallons of maple syrup with an estimated value of $31,320,000, and describes pure maple syrup as a natural and nutritious sweetener. By passing this resolution, the Legislative Body aims to recognize and celebrate the state's exceptional maple resources and their contribution to local and state economies.
