Foresters are ready

with helpful advice

The Georgia Forestry Commission offers a wide range of forest management services available to both landowners and homeowners. They include woodland examinations and management advice, insect and disease detection and assistance, timber harvesting and sale advice, Detailed Management Plans, Forest Stewardship Plans, Tree Farm certifications, shade tree evaluations and Urban Forestry assistance to cities.

All these services are free. Timber marking is done for a nominal charge. The GFC's reforestation program helps landowners with tree planting projects. It encourages erodible cropland, idle land, and especially land that has had timber cut from it, be replanted in trees. Services are available to evaluate and give advice on planting needs. There are federal cost-share programs available (through county offices) to assist with many forest management practices.

Fuller Anderson is the Fayette County area Forester and can be reached at the district office in Newnan at 770-254-7218.
