If you own forested land in the State of Michigan there are several different programs available for you to take advantage of. There are programs to help you reduce your property taxes, programs to provide you with technical assistance, and programs which provide funding for projects such as tree plantings or getting a forest management plan written.   Click on one of the links to the right to explore these programs some more.
