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. |

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 (see link– “Private Sector Jobs/Projects Available”) can contact the Delta Conservation District by email: rorymattson@deltacd.org and/or call Rory Mattson at (906) 280-6947. Landowners will be encouraged to contact all interested private sector businesses by individual discipline lists that will be provided to the landowner, but the choice remains with the landowner. Please contact us if you would like more information. |
