FOREST MANAGEMENT PLANS
We’ve all heard “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” This is especially true in forestry.
A basic forest management plan could help cut your property bill by 65% and identify possible forest health issues.
A comprehensive forest management plan identifies the quantity and growth potential of your forest and lays out a sustainable strategy for you to generate income and protect your resources.
A forest stewardship plan is a good first step in obtaining Natural Resource Conservation Service cost share funding or certification from Tree Farm, FSC, or SFI for your forest – these certifications assure consumers that your wood products are sustainably produced and “green.” Best of all, you may be able to get plans completed for free with the help of state or NRCS cost-sharing funds.
A harvest plan saves time and money by helping you do it right the first time — avoiding too many roads or too much skidding, and making sure you avoid state FPG and BMP violations. In addition to forest management plans, specific forest regeneration plans and wildlife plans may help you qualify for government cost-share money for forestry practices.
