**What you get:** A custom forest management plan written by a GFC forester at no charge, plus advice on harvesting, forest health, reforestation and prescribed burning

Georgia Forestry Commission foresters write management plans tailored to a landowner's goals and give advice on timber harvesting, forest health, reforestation, prescribed burn plans and best management practices. Larger properties with several land uses can request a more detailed Forest Stewardship Plan written by natural resource professionals.

## Who qualifies

Georgia forest landowners; no acreage minimum is stated. The request form asks for the Georgia county where the land sits.
