through its Cooperative Forest Management (CFM) Program 

 conducts a program designed specifically to provide technical 

 advice and assistance to those people who own small areas 

 of forest land or produce forest products on a small scale. 



The forester advises the owner regarding the most 

 profitable kinds of forest products, sales practices, 

 selection of trees for cutting, on steps for improving 

 the remaining stand and on how to reestablish a stand 

 of trees through planting, seeding, or natural regeneration. 

 He also assists landowners, loggers, and mill operators 

 in the harvesting, processing, utilization, and marketing 

 of forest products. 



Forest management assistance for the timberland 

 owner may be requested of the State Forester, the County 

 Agent, Soil Conservation District, or any one of the 

 public agricultural agencies. Any of them can assist 

 him in meeting the nearest service forester.
