DEC Forester Site Visit for Private Woodland Owners
馃嚭馃嚫 NY, United States 路 New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
A free walk-through of your woodland with a DEC forester, who outlines management options and points you to cost-share and tax programs
DEC stewardship foresters in each region offer private, non-industrial forest landowners a free introductory site visit. The forester walks the property, discusses the owner's goals, explains what is growing there, and suggests next steps such as a stewardship plan, the Regenerate New York cost-share grant, EQIP, or 480-a. Work DEC foresters do not do, such as timber sale administration and 480-a plans, is referred to a list of private cooperating foresters.
Who qualifies
Private, non-industrial forest landowners in New York seeking introductory management and technical advice. No acreage threshold is stated.
