Developing a Forest Stewardship Plan: The Key to Forest Management (FS-625)
Forest stewardship is the management of forest resources in a way that meets the needs of the current owners, but does not adversely affect use by future generations.

A good plan combines the characteristics of the woodlot with the interests and objectives of the owner to produce a set of forest management recommendations.
