The Kentucky Division of Forestry assists private forest landowners by educating them about the importance of their forestland and by providing technical assistance to help them obtain the personal management goals for their property.
Whether you own one acre or a thousand, the Kentucky Division of Forestry can provide valuable technical assistance advice to forest landowners in the management of existing woodlands or the creation of a new woodland.
The Kentucky Forest Stewardship Program is available to all private, nonindustrial forestland owners who own 10 or more acres of woodlands. Technical planning assistance is provided to these landowners to assist them in reaching the land use goals of their forests. There may be cost-share funding to cover the costs of implementing some forestry practices.
Technical planning assistance is also available to landowners who own less than 10 acres to assist them in reaching the land use goals of their smaller acreages.
The Kentucky Woodland Owners Short Course (WOSC) is an educational opportunity for woodland owners who would like to learn about basic forest management. The program features a variety of topics presented by forestry and other natural resource professionals. Why should you attend the WOSC?
- Improve woodland health
- Increase woodland productivity
- Improve wildlife habitat
- Increase revenue earned from timber sales
This year, the WOSCs will be conducted on Saturdays and will include youth programming for ages 5-17. Plan to bring the family and join us for an educational experience that will have lasting benefits for you and your family. We look forward to working with you this summer!
