**What you get:** Free help from an Oklahoma Forestry Services forester to write a management plan for your trees and land

Oklahoma Forestry Services foresters walk landowners through planning and produce a written management plan tailored to the owner, the trees and the land. Foresters advise on reforestation, timber stand improvement, prescribed fire, harvesting and water quality best management practices, recommend grants and cost-share programs, and continue to help after the plan is written. The agency also offers tree seedlings, forest and tree health advice, windbreak and shelterbelt help and water quality assistance.
