Forest Stewardship Coached Planning

Republic
Thursday evenings, Jan. 29 - Mar. 19, 2009
6:30 - 9:00 p.m.

The Forest Stewardship Coached Planning Program is an excellent learning opportunity for forest landowners, whether you own 5, 50, or 500 acres of trees. This 28-hour course emphasizes practical stewardship of forest resources. With guidance and one-on-one assistance, you will develop your own forest management plan based on your family's goals and the characteristics of your property. An approved plan may be used to qualify for tax incentive programs administered by Ferry County.

Instructors cover topics such as forest health, silviculture, wildlife habitat enhancement, soils, special forest products, and how to identify and implement your goals and objectives.
