What does it take to be a PA Forest Steward?
PA Forest Stewards should have a keen interest in the future of Pennsylvania's forest resources and should be willing to demonstrate a stewardship ethic on their own woodlands. To be a PA Forest Steward you must be willing to:
- Think of forests as more than just trees and timber. Forests serve important environmental functions as thriving biological communities comprised of many kinds of plants and animals.
- Learn to take into account all the
potential uses and benefits of forests — including environmental balance,
recreation, timber, and natural beauty—as you manage forest
resources.
- Share what you learn with friends,
neighbors, or others in your community.
- Join a network of other informed
woodland owners and professional natural resource managers.
- Act responsibly in managing your forestland for future generations.
