The Referral Process - For The Landowner

Should you want to pursue forest management after meeting with Greg (see previous webpage):
  1. Your profile will be confidentially posted to our website for a two-week period during which forest resource professionals will have the opportunity to express interest in your project. Please note that no personal information will be available on the website; only a basic profile and general location of your land will be made available in order to help consultants effectively express interest in your project.
  2. Greg will compile a list of forest resource professionals who have expressed interest in helping you with your specific project and will provide further guidance on working with foresters.  
  3. It is up to the landowner to call the forest resource professionals and choose with whom they would like to work.
  4. Greg will be available to follow up with you, answer any future questions, and help you with future forestry and non-game wildlife-related issues.  ​

The Referral Process - For The Forest Resource Professional

Project #:  004-21-028   Date Posted: 4/6/21     Date Closing: 4/20/21 5 PM ET
Location: Alpena County, T32N-R7E  Acres: 160 (total ownership)   Forest Type: Mixed lowland conifers, aspen, eastern white pine
Work Requested:  The landowner is primarily interested in finding a forester or wildlife biologist to write a forest management plan under the Forest Stewardship Program or NRCS' EQUIP. The property receives the homestead exemption, so it is unlikely to be enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program (QFP). Most of the property was cleared many decades ago for agricultural activities (including pasturing). Little forest management has occurred on the property in recent times. The balsam fir and white and black spruce on the property are very nice. Most of the soils on the property are sandy loams and mucks. Access to the property is excellent and access within the property is fair to good.  A Forest Stewardship Program "Landowners Goals" form has been completed and could be used in future discussions.

Project #:  004-21-004   Date Posted:   4/5/21     Date Closing: 4/19/21 5 PM ET
Location: Alpena County, T30N-R7E  Acres: 80 (total ownership)   Forest Type: Mixed lowland conifers, aspen, maple
Work Requested:  The landowner is primarily interested in finding a forester or wildlife biologist to write a forest management plan under the Forest Stewardship Program or NRCS' EQUIP. It is likely that the landowner will also enroll the property in the Qualified Forest Program (QFP) and need guidance for that as well. There is 1 tax parcel. Forest management has occurred on the property in recent memory. Most of the soils on the property are sandy loams and mucks. Access to the property is excellent and access within the property is fair.  A Forest Stewardship Program "Landowners Goals" form has been completed and could be used in future discussions.​

Project #:
  004-21-012   Date Posted:   4/1/21     Date Closing: 4/15/21 5 PM ET
Location: Alpena County, T30N-R4E  Acres: 155 (total ownership)   Forest Type: Mixed lowland conifers, aspen
Work Requested:  The landowner is primarily interested in finding a forester or wildlife biologist to write a forest management plan and provide related guidance for enrollment of this property into the Qualified Forest Program (QFP). There are 4 tax parcels, 3 of which would likely be enrolled in QFP. The primary aim of the landowner is game species management, especially white-tailed deer. Forest management has occurred on the property in recent memory and removed much of the volume. Most of the soils on the property are sandy loams and mucks. Access to the property is excellent and access within the property is fair.  A Forest Stewardship Program "Landowners Goals" form has been completed and could be used in future discussions.

Project #:  004-21-014   Date Posted:   3/24/21     Date Closing: 4/7/21 5 PM ET
Location: Alpena County, T29N-R7E  Acres: 157 (total ownership)   Forest Type: Mixed upland/lowland conifer, aspen
Work Requested:  The landowner is primarily interested in finding a forester or wildlife biologist to write a forest management plan and provide related guidance for enrollment of this property into the Qualified Forest Program (QFP). The primary aim of the landowner is game species management, especially upland game birds. Forest management has occurred on the property in recent memory. Most of the soils on the property are sandy loams with some clay. Access to the property is excellent and access within the property is good. The landowner has discussed an interest in patch cuts of ~1 ac (variable retention) to promote some regeneration of aspen and spruce-fir. A Forest Stewardship Program "Landowners Goals" form has been completed and could be used in future discussions.
