Start a Woodland Stewardship Plan
Woodland Stewardship Plans are a type of planning guide that incorporates your goals and visions as a landowner into the plans and decisions for the health and management of your forest. These plans are required to enroll in the Minnesota tax incentive programs, SFIA and Classification 2C​, and Wisconsin's MFL, and must be written by an Approved Woodland Stewardship Plan Writer. Cost share assistance may be available to help have your plan written. To learn more, please visit our Become a Woodland Stewardship section, contact us, or talk to your local public forester.
