Sugarhouse extraction

Jed and Karl Lipsky remove the back pan from an old evaporator at Kirchner Woods while taking down the collapsed sugarhouse.

Last week, Stowe Land Trust removed a collapsed sugarhouse at Kirchner Woods with assistance from Lipsky Logging LLC.

The sugarhouse was beyond repair when the land trust bought the property from Jerry Kirchner’s estate in 2009, and the structure finally succumbed under heavy snows earlier this year. Most of the sugaring equipment was also in poor condition and could not be salvaged, except for a small evaporator, which the land trust has retained.
