1 Maryland Small-Acreage Professional Forester Directory Updated October 2012 Woodland Stewardship Education 1

2 The Woods in Your Backyard As the population of Maryland has grown, many larger parcels of land have been parceled into properties ranging in size from 1 to 10 acres, with a mix of woodland and open land. In 2006, 85% of Maryland private woodland owners had properties from 1 to 10 acres in size. This is important because 78% of Maryland woodlands are privatelyowned by landowners with a diverse range of objectives, including recreation, hunting, timber, wildlife habitat improvement, water quality, firewood or other forest products. Woodland owners with property over ten acres have a variety of options for professional forestry services and assistance from state, consulting and industrial foresters. For more information, visit Maryland Department of Natural Resources State Forester directory: Maryland Consulting and Industrial Foresters directory (PDF): However, property owners who have one to ten acres often have special challenges in finding professional services for their woodlands. For example, state foresters can develop forest management plans for larger woodlands over 10 acres, but often cannot for smaller properties due to limited resources. Small-acreage owners may need the assistance of a professional forester to help them manage wildlife habitat, create stream corridors, remove invasive species, harvest or plant trees, or develop a simple forest stewardship plan to guide their activities over the next years. In order to assist the small-acreage woodland owner, University of Maryland Extension has developed this directory. The consulting and industrial professional foresters listed here are willing to work with small acreage woodland owners to encourage healthy and sustainable woodlands. Each listing includes the services offered by the individual and/or company, as well as which Maryland counties they serve. Interested smallacreage owners are encouraged to interview the service providers in this directory to find the right forester for their needs. Disclaimer: This is a voluntary directory and the University of Maryland Extension makes no claims or endorsements regarding the services provided. 2
