Stewardship Plans written by a professional natural resource consultant
Financial incentive does NOT cover a timber cruise or appraisal
Applications must be pre-approved by Oregon Dept. of Forestry prior to creation of a Plan
Plans must be developed according to the Oregon Forest Management Plan/Tools and Guidance
Plans must be reviewed and approved by the local ODF stewardship forester
Plans apply to rural land suitable for growing trees and existing rural forestland
Plans are considered to have a ten-year life span unless updated before ten years has elapsed. Family forestland owners may apply for cost share for one new plan per forested property.
Plan updates are appropriate for landowners with a five year old, or older, multi-resource plan that has not been revised.
