Managing North Dakota’s forestlands and resources can produce significant benefits. Careless activities in woodlands can, however, damage water resources, soils, wildlife habitat, aesthetic values, and even the ability to produce future benefits. The North Dakota Forest Service believes Best Management Practices (BMPs), when carefully applied, will ensure productivity of our woodlots from tree planting, timber harvesting, thinning and other forest management activities. BMPs are intended to serve as a basis for sound management decisions. Often BMPs can be applied directly by the landowner. Sometimes the landowner will want help from a forester or other natural resource professional to interpret field situations and determine on-the-ground activities. Flexibility and the ability to modify guidelines to suit local conditions are needed to effectively apply these practices. The North Dakota Forest Service encourages landowners to have a Forest Management Plan prepared for their woodland and planting areas.
