My favorite sports are volley ball, judo, and soccer. Since I live in the mountain town of Fernie, British Columbia, I also love hiking, biking and doing water sports at Lake Koocanusa in the summer, and skiing in the winter. I have one sister named Emma, my mother's name is Colette, my father's name is Scott, and we have a Dog named Stuie. In the future, I intend to study either geology or biology at university. The inspiration for our project was because my partner and I are both big pancake fans, and find that real maple syrup is a lot better than imitation maple syrup. We noted that maple syrup is very expensive and there is no available fertilizers for it so we decided to do further research on this topic. |

Adjusting the physical location of the tree to the most suitable for growth. By controlling these variables the sugar concentration increase would significantly affect maple sugar production. |
