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.
Each LFP management prescription is indexed to net present value and the targeted IRR for the particular investment. For example fertilization rates and total cost will be precisely designed to achieve the targeted IRR and targeted date of harvest for each timber stands and investment.
