A sample management plan is also provided as a guideline. In simplest terms, a forest management plan is a specific statement of the goals and objectives you have for your land, followed by a series of activities that will take place to meet those objectives. First of all, lets define what may seem obvious. A goal is an object, place, or state to be reached. It is the final outcome of your activities.
Goals start with a vision.
Your vision will define what goals you set for your land. Objectives are the steps you make to reach your goal. You may have specific objectives for particular stands and you will treat these stands according to these objectives. The management plan also includes information on the location of your land, a resource assessment, management recommendations, and supplemental information. The legal description of the tract of land to be managed needs to be included.
