We've got a ton of white birch that naturally seeded onto a field at camp,
probably 5-6 acres of 'em. They're getting to the 6-8" diameter stage and I've
started cutting them for firewood. They grow in groups of 3 or 4 so I've
started taking one out of each group.
IIRC birch is 100:1 sap to syrup while maple is 50:1 or so. Also IIRC birch has
a lighter flavor, I know I've had it but I can't remember where.
