Forest Stewardship Program (free plans and site visits)
馃嚭馃嚫 TX, United States 路 Texas A&M Forest Service
Free forester site visit and a written forest stewardship plan covering up to ten years
Texas A&M Forest Service foresters help landowners write a stewardship or management plan for timber, wildlife habitat, soil and water, or recreation. Plans cover up to ten years and the agency will visit the property on request (visits run about 30 minutes to four hours). Plan-writing and visits are offered at no cost to the landowner.
Who qualifies
Texas forest landowners. The program page states no acreage minimum. The agency's Certified Forest Steward recognition is for owners of at least 10 acres with a written plan.
