Forest Management Planning

A group of people in a forest discussing something on a phone, with one wearing a hard hat and another holding papers.

As a landowner, a forest management plan (sometimes referred to as a forest stewardship plan) helps you to make the most of conservation benefits, including timber, wildlife habitat, recreation, aesthetic value, and many others, by providing a working guide for you to use well into the future. A good Forest Management Plan is a site-specific document that describes an owner’s goals and objectives, catalogues the current conditions of the property (including species composition, soils, wildlife, water, and cultural resources), identifies threats or issues of concern and provides recommended actions to achieve long-term forest management goals.
