The sugar bush is the back woods where lots of maple trees (bush) is present that was traditionally used for making maple sugar. Sugar making has, of course, given way to maple syrup production.

Sugarbush is a patch of sugar maples. There is a nice sugarbush between the golf course rd and Inferno Rd at Sugarbush on the south side.http://img2.postimage.org/121054/sugarhouse1.jpg (http://img2.postimage.org/forums/forums_skimrv/121054/sugarhouse1.html)

As a kid we used to take the pitch from some type of pine (I can't remember which) and chew it as gum.

Some folk make maple syrup from birch trees. They call it birch syrup. I never tried it but I heard it has a licorice flavor. It's more expensive to make because birch don't give off nearly as much sap. Lazy trees.
