New Foresters Directory Available

A new Directory of Professional Foresters, listing Indiana foresters who provide private woodland services and advice, has been released. Foresters are located throughout the state and provide assistance such as management plans, timber sales, tree planting, invasive species control, and many other services.

The Directory is available via interactive map at www.findindianaforester.org to find foresters by county or address or to download. Printed copies of the booklet are available at county Extension offices, county Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) or Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offices, or from a state Division of Forestry district forester.

 “Finding the resources to help you meet your woodland management objectives is important and key to successful stewardship of private woodlands,” says Lenny Farlee, Purdue Extension Forester. “These foresters can provide the expert advice and assistance needed to meet your property management goals.”

Indiana Forestry & Woodland Owners Association (IFWOA) is dedicated to conservation and sustainable management of woodlands in Indiana. IFWOA advocates for scientific best practices for management to achieve objectives of clean water, wildlife habitat, soil protection, native species diversity, timber production, recreation, carbon sequestration and many others.
