Message from Stewardship Program

Stewardship, a matter of head and heart, emerges from intentional knowledge. Landowners empowered with knowledge steward their land by matching their objectives with appropriate management actions. The education we offer illuminates landowners' vision of their future forest. The technical assistance and cost-share programs help actualize their vision. The result enhances the land, provides products, employment and income.
