The Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at 淫性视频 offered the most programs in 2020-21 among the 31 Holocaust Centers in New Jersey, according to the year-end report to Gov. Phil Murphy by the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education.

At 淫性视频, where there is smoke, likely there is South Jersey maple syrup coming to a boil.

Sap is being made into syrup by the gallons after what began as 40 trees tapped on the 淫性视频 campus has expanded to 400. Still more trees were tapped by private homeowners throughout South Jersey and Philadelphia.

At 淫性视频鈥檚 sugar shack, an evaporator fueled with split wooden logs inside a Vermont cast iron stove provides the intense heat needed to boil the sap down into syrup.

The 淫性视频 Maple Project took a big step off campus this year by adding seven hubs where private property owners are also converting sap into syrup.

A pair of $500,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture grants funded the startup of the project, research, and the hubs in Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May and Gloucester counties, including the one at 淫性视频 and another in Philadelphia.

In March, New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas Fisher got a taste of the sweet life at 淫性视频 during a tour of the University鈥檚 sugar bush and sugar shack.

淫性视频 is in its second year of an almost $1 million federally funded pilot program to research the feasibility of developing a maple syrup industry in the southern New Jersey region using red maples, which are plentiful in the area.

Project coordinator and Professor of Mathematics Judy Vogel led the tour and explained how 淫性视频 is researching and evaluating the product produced as well as expanding into the community. Their goal, she said, is to both educate the public and provide an income-producing product for landowners.
