Alger County Forestry programs for landowners
Forest Management Plans (FMP)
A forest management plan is a document that takes an inventory of your forest property and helps lay out a landowner's goals and objectives along with a plan to execute any activities that might help achieve these goals. A forest management plan is also a requirement for many programs. For more information about if getting a forest management plan is right for you and regarding current available cost-share,
Qualified Forest Program (QFP)
The Qualified Forest Program benefits include receiving a maximum 18 mill reduction of school property taxes, public access to land is not a requirement, and contributing to regional economies by practicing sustainable timber harvesting! For more information about eligibility requirements, reach out to Sara or go to:
American Tree Farm Systems
This voluntary forestland certification system provides landowners (owning between 10 and 10,000 acres) with a way to examine and improve their current forest management practices. Certifying a forest in ATFS ensures playing a positive role in the protection and sustainable management of our natural resources. Any wood products extracted from an ATFS property is considered certified sustainable wood. For more information, reach out to Sara or visit the link below.
