Why manage your forested property ? The number of answers to this question are almost immeasurable. Without some form or program of forest management, woodland properties seldom reach their full potential and are even less likely to meet the expectations of its ownership. Clearly, neglect or the lack of proper stewardship measures can be disastrous. The deficiency of wise planning and failure to obtain sound professional advice and assistance, can also result in extremely unfavorable results. The use of qualified and reliable professional assistance can produce countless benefits to the land and the landowner. Increased productivity and profitability can be achieved, while at the same time aesthetics, wildlife and recreational use of the land can be benefited. Property protection, security, insect and pest control measures can be implemented to guard and enhance the interests of ownership. Regardless of the objectives of ownership, property taxes and income taxes must be paid. Many forest management and property stewardship practices can be applied to reduce both income taxes and property taxes through careful planning, proper implementation and knowledge of the technical aspects of forest land management and the specialized field of timberland taxes.
