It becomes obvious that many variables must be considered and merged with landowner objectives when trying to manage a forest. The Department of Forestry accepts this forest management challenge and welcomes the opportunity to work with any interested landowner.
It is difficult to accept a landscape change, whether its urban sprawl or a timber harvest operation that affects one’s view shed. As long as we protect the landowners rights to practice forest management based on sound silvicultural principles, we can insure that forestry can be a viable economic activity for years to come. This way there will always be forests in our view sheds and on our horizons.
Anyone having questions regarding forest management on their property can call the Department of Forestry at 948-5341 or write to P.O. Box 148, Madison, 22727.
