It takes careful planning to keep Michigan’s 4 million acres of state forest healthy and thriving.
That’s why the DNR finalizes plans for each forest management unit two years in advance of when any management activities – prescribed burns, timber harvests or tree thinning, for example – take place.
This summer and fall, forest management recommendations for 2021 are being presented at open houses within those forest management units.
The open houses give people the opportunity to speak with foresters, wildlife biologists and other resource professionals regarding the DNR’s plans.
There will be an open house at the Baraga DNR Customer Service Center on Wednesday, June 19th to discuss the Baraga Forest Management Unit.
See a full schedule of this year’s state forest management open houses.
Then on Friday, July 10th, a public compartment review meeting also will take place.
That’s where the foresters will present their final decisions on management activities for that unit.
See a full compartment review meeting schedule.
