Dear Grace,

Thanks for your question! Our recommendation would be to get in contact with your local forester, or the state forestry agency for suggestions on someone reliable. If you have any neighbors in a similar situation it may be a good idea to check in with them as well.

Contact the state agency here.

If you'd like to find a forester in your area, My Land Plan has some easy steps to help put you in touch with one.

1) On your Land Plan you will see a section on the left hand side that will show your Nearest Foresters. This information is pulled from the data you have entered in for your land plan. You can click on the foresters name and view their profile or you can click on View the Full List of Foresters to do a larger search.

2) When you are looking on our content pages, you will see the Who Can Help navigation on the left hand side. If you click on Find A Forester, you can search for foresters near you by entering in your zip code. Once you have viewed all the profiles and found a foresters that you think meets your need, then you can: Add that forester to your List of Foresters found on your Plan by clicking the orange Add to My Forester List button

Best,
Dan
