One of the most important steps in managing your timberland is the formation of a management plan that is tailored to your situation. This planning phase can be as simple as preparing a brief management prescription for one tract, or as complex as developing annual allowable harvests, operating budgets, management policies, or even investment strategies for larger ownerships.
