Sugar Maple: Acer saccharum
Acknowledgments and References
Acknowledgements
I would like to take the time to thank everybody who lent a hand when I was putting together this website. It would not have been possible without all of your help.
I would like to give a special thanks to my sister, Erin Schoenfuss, who provided me with some of her many magnificent pictures, including the heading image found on every single page. Check our her webpage on Tree Swallows by clicking here.
I would also like to thank the rest of my family for taking a few pictures for me and/or posing in a few pictures for me. I would especially like to that my Dad for all of his help in how to make Maple Syrup and identifying Sugar Maple trees.
I would like to thank Michael Clayton for allowing me to use a few of his images. More images of his and his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin Madison’s Department of Botany can be found by clicking here.
