Landowner Assistance

Creating a woodland depends on your wants and needs, and the condition and capability of the woodland as it exists.

Service Foresters are uniquely qualified by training and experience to help landowners decide what can and should be done to develop woodlands for wildlife habitat/viewing, timber production, rare species habitat, hunting, or recreation.

Ohio has over 20 Service Foresters statewide that work one-on-one with woodland owners, providing management plans, technical assistance and information on tree planting projects, woodland improvement activities, and timber marketing assistance.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources – Division of Forestry receives funding assistance from the United States Dept. of Agriculture in the delivery of certain programs.  In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.
