Forest Stewardship Program

Consider applying for the Forest Stewardship Program in your state.   This is a nationwide program that is administered jointly by the USDA Forest Service and each state's forestry agency.  The purpose is to provide private forest landowners with a comprehensive Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) that will help guide you toward improving your property.

Once you have established certain goals for your property, such as  wildlife habitat improvement, timber management, water and soil conservation, or just recreational  enhancement, a plan will be developed by a group of forestry professionals for you to follow.  The plan is of no cost to you, and the cost of its implementation might be alleviated with a cost share program.

Contact your state forestry agency about eligibility and participation.
