Why Do a Forest Management Plan?

DEI works with several small to large private owners to build Forest Management Plans tailored to their specific needs. Some reasons landowners approach us to build management plans are:

• To improve the heath of forest ecosystems on their land for aesthetic, economic, recreation, and other reasons.

• To have a framework and prescriptions for restoration projects.

• Commercial timber harvesting and thinning.

• Watershed restoration.

• Fire risk mitigation.

• To access federal, state, local and grant funds.

• To implement conservation easements.

• To build resiliency in forest ecosystems against insect and disease and climate shift.
