Forestry assistance for landowners (2015)

Abstract

Missouri citizens own about 85 percent of the state's 15 million forested acres. Proper care and management of the private forest resource are important to the health of Missouri's economy and environment. Once you as a forestland owner become aware of this valuable resource, you might have questions like 'How can I manage my forest for both wood and wildlife?' or 'Where can I go for help?' Throughout Missouri, the following agencies and organizations can help you find publications, technical advice, educational programs and financial assistance to help you manage your woodlands. The following descriptions will give you an idea of some of the assistance available.
