From the hardwoods of northern lower Michigan to the wetlands of the eastern Upper Peninsula to the prairies near the Lake St. Clair coast, see how we have helped other landowners manage and improve their forests.
How the program works:
- Identify your goals and find a forester to help accomplish them
- Your forester will conduct a land inspection to understand its forest resources
- You and your forester prepare a personal forest stewardship plan
- The plan is put into action
