​FORESTRY

Managing your woodlot successfully can provide several benefits to yourself and future generations. No two forests are the same, and many objectives can be met with a forest management plan. 

Possible Objectives of a Forest Management Plan
  • Timber
  • Firewood
  • Wildlife habitat
  • Enhanced water quality
  • Recreational trails
  • ​Forest farming
  • Silvopasture
Forestry combines art, science, history, and math to produce a healthy, vigorous forest while also meeting landowner objectives. We strive to make landowners happy by accomplishing their objectives. Currently, we have provided forestry assistance for the county forest lands, several towns, and for some of our participating AEM farms.
