Forest Stewardship Plan

Forestry is the art and science of managing forest lands and their related resources, including trees, plants, animals, soil, water, and air. Management is based on the goals identified by the property’s owners.

Your forestland can be many things to you, including a source of personal enjoyment, an investment, and a legacy for future generations. Following a management plan is the first step toward meeting objectives for your land.

The following pages include descriptions of related vegetative or physical areas called stands. Recommended forestry practices are listed. Landowners are encouraged to actively complete the practices recommended.

The plan available here is a hypothetical one made to typify common woodland owner concerns. It is divided into eight pages of information: five for each stand on the property, a page of objectives and goals, a page of recommendations and a summary page. In addition, there are property maps available.

Continue to the next page to see the opening section of the plan, which includes landowner objectives, and information about the property.
