Woodland owners who want to know the value of their forest or how their forest can be improved can find resources from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach to help. “Planning for Wooded Acreages and Woodlands” is a resource-filled article available on the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Natural Resource Stewardship website, and the “Woodland Assessment Worksheet” is a three-page publication available on the Extension Store. Both resources help woodland owners with the first steps of forest assessment, including taking an inventory of the types of trees and other plants on the property, growth stages, goals for future use, and mapping of property lines and special features. You can find a link to both of these resources with this news story at KCIIradio.com.
