FOREST STEWARDSHIP PLAN 

The Forest Stewardship Plan is a more detailed plan than the General Forest Management Plan. This plan includes all the essential elements for the Qualified Forest Program (QFP) in addition to being eligible for funding from the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQUIP) through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). This plan is through a grant-funded program by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources called the Forest Stewardship Program. The Forest Stewardship Program provides a 10% grant off the final cost of the management plan. Properties must be 20 acres or greater to qualify for the grant. 

GENERAL FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN

This type of forest management plan is most used by landowners who do not qualify for or chose not to enroll in grant funded programs from the other two forest management plan options. This plan still provides the crucial elements of the Qualified Forest Program (QFP). This type of plan incorporates detailed maps, stand descriptions, management recommendations and a schedule of management activities, and special resources.  

INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT PLAN 

Invasive species control can be expensive and maybe you as the landowner would like to tackle this situation. Our invasive species management plan would be perfect for you. This plan includes an onsite meeting to teach you what invasive species are present, how to identify them, and the best approaches to achieve success. Following our walkthrough, I will provide a custom invasive species management plan reviewing the walkthrough, what equipment you might need, and any chemical or mechanical methods to use.
