Forestry/Wildlife Assistance

Forestry/Wildlife Assistance

Approximately 80% of the Land in Michigan is privately owned. Even in the Upper Peninsula, which contains an abundance of state and national forest, 43% or 3.6 million acres are owned by the non-industrial private landowner. Private lands are of significant magnitude to impact forest composition/age and wildlife habitat suitability, however, little effort has been directed towards responsible and sustainable management of forest on private lands.
​The Forestry Assistance Program works to provide an initial professional contact with landowners who are interested in Natural Resource Management and Environmental issues on their properties.

Information and Services we provide: 

  • Free on-site property evaluation
  • Tree and shrub planting recommendations
  • Timber sale assistance
  • Wildlife habitat recommendations
  • Wetland/Environmental assistance
  • Tree insect and disease identification
  • Forest Stewardship Program

  • Qualified Forest Program (click for more information) 
  • Quality deer management

  • American Tree Farm Program
  • Christmas tree management
  • Available cost-share programs

Private Sector Businesses

Another important goal of the program is to refer jobs/projects to private sector businesses (consultants, timber producers, engineers, construction contractors, surveyors, etc.).
Private sector businesses interested in pursuing job(s)/project(s) described below can please click on the link below
  “Private Sector Jobs/Projects Available”   and then
