>>2571173Forest management plan, its what every government does for literally all the forest in the entire world, well, most modern first world countries.
In this explanation I'm gonna use the Michigan example but you can apply this to most states.
https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/managing-resources/forestry/management/regionSo this is a detailed document that is basically made up of every company's management plan for the next 5 - 10yrs. It outlines everything, from where they're gonna cut wood, where they're gonna prep to plant, where they're gonna plant, where they are leaving shit to protect wildlife, etc etc etc. These have been a thing since I think like the 1960s (?) ish roughly, and they're pretty fucking swag cause they are freely available information for literally everyone but no granola crunching hemp wearing bongo bashing hippie knows they exist so they think all forest management is evil companies clearcutting and shit. These documents are like a fucking bible and I don't know how it works for other states but the michigan one is huge because if you fuck up and dont follow the mangement plan you can get into serious trouble.
