Hello from Forests for Maine's Future.

But there are challenges too. Find the answer to the Big Question: How tall a stack of pancakes will 10,000 gallons of maple syrup sweeten. The answer shocked even us. Check out February's Fresh from the Woods feature.

Also this week we've tagged some interesting forest-related stories in the media. Like . . .

See you in the woods.
