Conservation District Forestry Assistance Program
The Forestry Assistance Program works to provide an initial professional contact with landowners who are interested in forest management on their property. Our role is to provide general guidance and information and facilitate referrals to other public and private resource professionals.
Consultants interested in pursuing the project described below should respond to__Iosco___ Conservation District by email within two weeks of this posting. You may include additional relevant information in your responses pertaining to the project. I will then forward all emails received to the landowner. We encourage landowners to contact all of the consultants who reply in a timely fashion, but the choice remains with the individual landowner. Our office will follow up with landowners to ensure they get the assistance they need.
