The Referral Process - For The Landowner
Should you want to pursue forest management after meeting with Greg (see previous webpage):
- 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.
- 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.
- It is up to the landowner to call the forest resource professionals and choose with whom they would like to work.
- 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.

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.
