For Landowners

Working with a Forester

What Do Foresters Do?

Foresters provide vital expertise on the ecology, laws and regulations in their region. Unfortunately, for many landowners, the cost to hire a professional forester is out of their financial reach. Plus, the incredible demand for free-service foresters means that it can take months or even years to schedule a consultation. This means many of our enrolled landowners have never worked with a forester before.

The Family Forest Carbon Program offers landowners a unique opportunity for free consultations with our staff and consulting foresters. Our foresters work with you to answer questions, provide advice on the best practices for you and your land, and develop forest management plans designed to enhance the health of your forest.

Ways Foresters Can Help

Eligibility & Enrollment

Our online mapping tools provide great insight on your land, but sometimes it takes more to understand your forest, needs, and eligibility. Our foresters do just that. Foresters meet with you, virtually or in-person, to collect all the data needed for your enrollment.

Expert Advice & Guidance

Our foresters are true industry experts. In addition to assisting with your enrollment, foresters understand the ecological and economic realities of your forest and provide you with insights and advice on how best to manage your woods and steward a healthier forest.

Forest Management Plans

Your forester will design a unique management plan that outlines specific ways you can improve your forest’s health and value over time. It’s a manual with personalized goals and strategies made specifically for your forest.
