Forest management plans provide sustainability

Do you have a Forest Management Plan (FMP) for your property? Do you know what an FMP is or why you should have one written? Forest Management Plans are a forestry management tool that all landowners would benefit from having in their land management “toolbox”. If you were thinking about your financial future or retirement planning, you would likely start with a financial planner. They would assess your debt to asset ratio and help you determine your future financial goals. With that information, they’d make savings and investment recommendations to you. It would then be up to you to make the move to save or invest however you saw fit. An FMP provides that same type of framework for your forest management goals.
