Assembly Resolution No. 994

BY: M. of A. Miller

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 March 2026, as Pure New York State Maple Month in
 the State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside to promote and appreciate New York
State's natural resources which benefit the lives of its citizens; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026, as Pure New
York State Maple Month in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, The Sugar maple tree was adopted as the State tree in 1956,
and its sap is the main source used to make maple; and

 WHEREAS, Pure maple syrup is a natural and nutritious sweetener and
is a smart choice as a topping or as a flavorful ingredient in baking
and cooking; and

 WHEREAS, New York State is ranked second in maple syrup production
in the United States, and is the first crop to be harvested in the
calendar year; and

 WHEREAS, New York's weather makes March the prime time to harvest
the sap for production of maple candy and syrup; and

 WHEREAS, In addition, New York State is home to the largest resource
of tappable maple trees within the United States, and over 2,000 maple
sugar makers; and

 WHEREAS, New York State's maple industry hit a 74-year record in
2018 with the production of 806,000 gallons of maple syrup, compared to
760,000 in 2017, with a growth of nearly 50 percent in the last six
years; and

 WHEREAS, The estimated value of the maple syrup produced in New York
State is $31,320,000; and

 WHEREAS, It is with great pleasure that this Legislative Body
acknowledges this exceptional natural resource and its contributions to
the local and State economies; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026, as Pure New
York State Maple Month in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
