The Michigan Forestry Assistance Program (FAP) is free technical assistance program for landowners in Michigan.  

Meet your Forester
The goal of the Forestry Assistance Program is to help family forest owners achieve their goals for woodland ownership.   The program provides outreach and technical assistance to help private landowners make good decisions about how to care for their land.   

A survey conducted by Michigan State University of family forest owners concludes that only 20% of the 11 million acre resource is actively managed.   The Forestry Assistance Program works with local conservation districts to increase the number of family forests that are managed under a sustainable forest management plan.
Frequently Asked Questions

How much do resource professional services cost?


Because costs can vary by location, type of project, services requested, and many other factors, it is difficult to estimate how much services cost until the professional has a better idea of what exactly is required in the project.

How does a landowner decide which resource professional to use?

It is up to the landowner to determine which resource professional they would like to use after speaking with each of them. We encourage landowners to contact all resource professionals on their list to determine which professional can best help meet management at a competitive price.

What if a landowner decides they don’t want to hire a resource professional after they have been through the process and received their list?

There is no cost for any of the services provided by the conservation district (initial consultation, creation of landowner profile, informational help, compilation of interested resource professionals list, etc.) and there is no obligation for a landowner to hire a resource professional, even if they have already received their list.

Does a landowner have to worry about unwanted solicitations from resource professionals?

Resource professionals do not have access to landowner contact information, so unless the landowner contacts a resource professional and provides them with their contact information, professionals have no way of reaching a landowner.
