Get Help with a Project

From writing stewardship and management plans to creating and improving wildlife habitat to planning and carrying out a successful timber harvest, private foresters can work closely with you to ensure you are getting the most out of your land. When choosing a forester, make sure you find someone you trust and who you believe understands your vision for your woodland. 

Depending on what type of project you are looking to carry out, you may be eligible for cost share programs and will want to work with a public forester too. If you can't find the type or professional you are looking for, please contact us and we will do our best to help!
