Abstract	Sugar maple is a wide-ranging and important hardwood tree-a component of 23 forest types in the United States and Canada. It provides a considerable source of food and cover for wildlife, but is not particularly susceptible to animal or bird damage or the ravages of insects. The sugar maple (fig. 1) is the most consequential of the 13 maple species native to the United States. The heartwood is normally a light reddish brown, hard and strong. It takes a high polish and stains well, thus making it suitable for hardwood floors and furniture. The wood is also used for many varied purposes ranging from scientific instruments to clothespins. Maple syrup and sugar are also valuable products.
