Forest management is generally a long-term commitment, and although it can be intimidating, a plan is needed to manage your forestland to optimize forest and wildlife related resources. A well thought-out plan will take into account current situations, what activities might occur in the future, and the potential results of those activities.  This video provides information on what a management plan is and why every landowner should have one.

To learn more about Management Plans check out the Alabama Extension publications found at this links Prescribed Fire: Promoting Better Forest and Wildlife Management.

For more information, contact the Alabama Extension regional forestry and wildlife agent serving your county.
