Why a Land Stewardship Plan?

Effective land stewardship starts with a well-developed management plan. This plan is critical to achieving your property goals, be it for agriculture, wildlife, or forest benefits. Management plans serve as written guides that outline current conditions, desired outcomes, and specific actions to improve the quality and diversity of your property for your goals.

A wildlife habitat management plan, for instance, offers numerous benefits, including identifying the wildlife species present or desired on your property and their habitat requirements. It also helps prioritize and schedule the best practices such as planting native vegetation, creating water sources, controlling invasive species, or conducting prescribed burns. Additionally, it allows you to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of your actions and adjust your plan as needed. You can also access financial and technical assistance from various programs and agencies that support wildlife conservation on private lands.

A land stewardship plan is a valuable tool that can make your property more attractive and beneficial for wildlife. By creating a plan, you can manage your land proactively and enjoy the rewards of seeing more profitable agricultural practices, healthy wildlife populations on your property, and higher-quality forest resources. These benefits translate to wildlife, watershed protection, and sustainable income from your investment in property for both you and your family into the future.
