Service Foresters

DCNR service foresters – at no cost to the landowner – will walk your property, and give sound advice on the following:

• Woodland review & improvement 
• Tree planting
• Control of forest pests & invasives
• Wildlife – habitat & management
• Woodland recreation
• Educational & cost-share programs
• Forest management 
• Timber harvest 
• Riparian & water quality practices 

Under the Cooperative Forest Management Program of the DCNR Bureau of Forestry, a Service Forester will assist you in understanding and planning the care and management of your woodland – a service to help you gain the maximum in benefits and enjoyment from this resource acreage.  While they can’t mark or sell timber, and don’t compete with private consulting foresters, they provide an educated, disinterested opinion and help you progress to the next step of managing your woodlot wisely and sustainably.
