Taken in May, 1974, this photograph is from the EPA’s DOCUMERICA Program to document subjects of environmental concern in America during the 1970s. The caption reads: "Resident of Roxbury, Vermont, draws off the finished syrup from a homemade evaporator. Instead of working in a sugar house he sets up a makeshift rig in a new spot each year to use fallen timber and loose brush to fire the sawed-off oil drum, 05/1974."
