Forestry

The NRCS and MDA have a number of programs that assist landowners with Forest Conservation.

Experts at the Garrett Soil Conservation District can help landowners complete a Forest Stewardship Plan free of charge and advise owners of programs that are applicable to the particular land tract.

To schedule a Forest Stewardship Plan, contact our office at 301-501-5886 or email jacob.metcalf@usda.gov.

Landowners could also obtain a Forest Stewardship Plan through the State DNR or a private conservationist, and if you qualify for funding through the NRCS or MDA, you could receive funds to assist with paying the costs. When you contact our office we will ask you your preference.
