Ellie Cashman started as executive director of Sugar Maples at the age of 25 in 2003.When people ask her how someone so young could tackle overseeing such a massive venture, she jokes that they needed youth. ,It takes a young person to do this job,, she laughs, ,I,m 28 years old now, and I,ll probably be in my 40s by the time we finish construction on our 22 buildings., Founded in 1997, The Catskill Mountain Foundation is a not-for-profit organization focused on arts, education and sustainable living.Progress on Sugar Maples since it was acquired by the foundation three years ago has been impressive.Five buildings have been gutted and renovated.In 2005, over 50 classes were offered in ceramics, fiber arts, jewelry, painting, drawing, glass bead making, Natural Agriculture farming, Taiko drumming and youth art programs.

Former resort staff housing has been converted into a spacious 2,500-square-foot fiber arts building.

Ellie Cashman understands the magic of this place. ,Here, at Sugar Maples,, she says, ,I love even the rusty remnants of iron-work, the rampant weeds and the chipping paint, because it is all filled with the unmistakable potential for something truly wonderful.In this ,in-between, state everyone participating at this point is part of a buzz of collective energy that comes with such an ambitious renovation project.,
