Maple saplings

[Sus-wolf]

What are some reliable spots to find maple saplings?

I’m specifically interested in PV, CH, and TWM, but the whole map too.

I thought I knew some spots but I have only found one in the last 38 in game days and I lost it somewhere.

There can be a maple-sapling on the little island closest to the Fishing Camp in CH.

I managed to find three maple saplings south of the community hall in Pleasant valley. Thank the dark. 😄

Can't say I've ever heard of someone running short of maples...usually birch

By “reliable” I assume you mean guaranteed. 
   You are guaranteed maple in WR and birch in ravine (between the cave and rail car near the entrance from ML (the one you can enter with the Guaranteed jerry can). 
 

  I often set up my interloper routes to cross these locations within the first 5 or 6 days so if I don’t pick up any maple or birch on the way, I am guaranteed to get them at these locations and have them curing by my forge run usually on day 10.
