New York State's Most Important Steward


Forest landowners control the future of the forest resource in the Catskill Region.  We own about 90% of the forested land in the six counties of Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan, and Ulster.  Whether you own 5 acres or 5,000 acres, our aggregate actions have a significant impact on forest health and productivity.  We must recognize our responsibility, both to our own woodlots and to the region’s forests.  We serve our own and the forest’s best interest, both economically and environmentally, by practicing proper forest management.  The following suggestions can help lead you down the road to good stewardship.


(1) Understand why you own forest land


People own forest land for a variety of reasons.  Some live in their forests, some retreat to them on weekends.  Each will relate to his or her land in a special way.  Before you take any action on your land, you must understand this relationship.  Make a list of the values that you derive from your land, such as birding, hunting, recreation, timber, firewood, income, and producing fresh water.
