STEWARDSHIP
APPLICATIONS
AVAILABLE
This program provides cost-
share assistance to have a plan
completed on landowner's prop-
ert>: Landowners interested in
obtaining a fbrest S~wardship
plan fbr their property need to
contact their local U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture Farm Ser-
vice Agency office. "Good forest
resource management should
begnn with a plan whether your
interests are hunting, hiking,
attractive forests, timber pro-
duction, wildlife habitat im-
provement, or just protecting
the soil and water," says Dave
Lilly, Assistant State Forester.
The West Virginia Division of
ForestD' will pay 75% of the cost
for landowners to obtain a plan
that will meet their goals and
objectives. The average plan
costs $5.50-$6.40 per acre de-
pending on the acreages
planned, with the landowner
paying only 25% of that cost. "Pdl
plans are prepared by trained
and certified professional forest-
ers. '[~e plan vdlt include infor-
mation about timber types, sizes
and amounts of volume," says
Lilly'. "It lists soil characteristics,
growth rates, and suggests ways
of using the resource to provide
for owner pnonties while assur-
ing tile forest will stay healthy
and grow rapidly."
To qualify; a landowner must
have at least 10 acres of land to
be eligible for the cost-share
program. Forest Stewardship is
open to private non-industrial
landowners. "We want the
people of West Virginia to real-
ize what an import,ant, renew-
able. natural resource we have,"
says Lilly. "With careful plan-
ning, that resource wilt remain
beautiful and productive for
generations to come."
Those interested in getting
help planning for the future of
the wo~Mlot should stop by their
