Why?
• A requirement for something like Tree Growth or Tree Farm
• To access funding like WoodsWISE
• To have a forest inventory
Cost
• For an average 100 acre woodlot it ranges from $250 to $1200
• Based on stocking, accessibility, use, and value
• Landowner objectives
Landowner
• Plan based on landowner objectives
• Plan is a balance of landowner objectives, requirements of use, and legal requirements
• Plan should be specific enough to dictate good silviculture and broad enough to allow the landowner latitude in implementation
Implementation
• Is a harvest recommended?
• Is a forester involved?
• Does the logger know the prescription?
• Are there Master Logger and CLP trained loggers?
• Timing around weather conditions |
