Vermont forest management plan is a formal plan used to direct the sustainable use, protection and management of forest land in Vermont. Forests in Vermont provide many values including wildlife habitat, water quality, erosion prevention, and other benefits for the local environment. The management plan allows landowners to develop sound forest resource management options.
The first step in any forest management plan is usually a comprehensive evaluation of the forestland. A forest inventory is a way of mapping and recording the location of vegetation and soil types, and other natural features such as existing waterways and indigenous plants and animals. When the landowners evaluate and analyze these factors it is easy to set long-term goals for the property to meet the needs of future generations.
Vermon forests will typically have guidelines about timber harvesting, invasive plant species, and reforestation.
