If you answer yes to more than one of statements below, a Forest Management Plan is the first item that you will need for your property. A Forest Management Plan can help you with multiple forest resource management. This plan is a commitment to your land for now and for the future, and as a forest manager I advise that this is your first starting point. Plus, it is a free service as well with no obligations through the Arkansas Department of Agriculture-Forestry Division and Missouri Department of Conservation.
What are the benefits to you as the landowner?
1. Improved income opportunities.
2. Knowledge about natural resource management and assistance for many management practices.
3. Enhancement of wildlife through habitat protection and improvements.
4. Protection against soil erosion and protection of water quality.
5. Conservation of water and soil resources for now and the future.
6. Assurance of a future supply of timber for forest products.
7. Restoration and management of wetlands.
8. Recreational opportunities.
9. Maintenance and enhancement of the beauty of Arkansas' forests and natural diversity.
10. Maintenance of unique historical and geological features.
Please give us a call and we will gladly send you an application and will
answer any questions you many have. Wade Hargrave is trained and authorized
to write forest stewardship plans for both the Arkansas Department of Agriculture-Forestry Division,
Missouri Department of Conservation, and CAP 106 Forest Management Plans for the Natural Resource Conservation
Service (NRCS).
