Interactive woodland assessment

What should I do with my woods?

Tell ForestMGMT what you own, what you want, and what you are seeing. Get a practical preliminary action report that points you toward the right maps, measurements, guides, and professional help.

Property

Start with the stand context.

Woodland acres

State

Forest type

Dominant size class

Last harvest

Objectives

Why do you own the woods?

What you see

Flag conditions that change the next step.

Young desirable trees?

Invasive plants?

Road / landing access

Streams / wetlands / crossings?

Logger or buyer approached you?

This tool provides a preliminary planning checklist, not a silvicultural prescription, timber appraisal, survey, or formal management plan.

Your report appears here

Property → condition → goals → next action.

Use the result as a field checklist, then carry it into Map Your Woods and the management-plan tools.

Why this works

It keeps forestry decisions in the right order.

Goals

Decide what the property should provide before selecting a treatment.

Map

Break the property into stands that can actually be described and managed.

Measure

Use inventory, basal area, trees per acre, and volume only where they answer a decision.

Prescribe

Bring in professional help when a site-specific prescription, timber sale, program, or regulated activity is involved.
