A word from our ‘FAP Forester’ Larry!
The Forestry Assistance Program (FAP) helps landowners throughout
Michigan better manage their forested properties for a variety of goals.
From educational workshops to one-on-one site consultation, Larry
provides a wide range of services at no cost to the landowner. Larry is a
graduate of Virginia Tech and has over 24 years of forestry experience.
He's worked with the Conservation District since June 2016 & has
covered thousands of acres in his service area. Larry's passion is 'bugs
and rots' & enjoys teaching landowners about their trees. Whether you
have a single tree in the front yard or have 40 acres to a whole section,
call Larry today to talk trees!
Larry’s primary office is located in Cadillac at the Wexford Conservation
District and can be reached at (231) 775—7681 ext. 3 or at
larry.czelusta@macd.org.
Qualified Forest Program (QFP)
This program encourages private forestland owners to manage their land
in an economically & environmentally sustainable manner. Landowners
with 20 acres or more may qualify for a 16mill reduction in property taxes
through QFP. Properties with agricultural or homestead status cannot
qualify. All parcels that enroll must complete an application & submit a
forest management plan which will last for the entirety of that parcel.
Enrolled land does not require public access. Contact the office today to
for a free site visit to see if your property is eligible!
When Should You Call a Forester?
When you want to plant trees. Trees differ in the soils they grow
best in & their tolerance to shade. Before you spend time & money
planting just any tree, call a forester to find what works best for
your property.
When a logger calls you. The average person may only sell timber
from their forest one in their lifetime. You may not even consider it
until a logger calls or knocks on the door offering money to cut
trees. A forester can give you professional, unbiased advice on
the offer & look at the property after harvest.
When you want your forest to be better for wildlife. Forests can be
manipulated to offer better food & forage for wildlife, as well as to
create better habitat. A Forester can help assess the steps
needed to get your forest land in tip top shape.

landowners to improve the natural resources on their property (farm,
forestland or wetland) in cooperation with the local Districts.
NRCS staff has helped Kalkaska County residents work with various Farm
Bill Programs and initiatives. Some projects include working with livestock
producers to manage erosion on the farm, install native plant buffer strips,
and creating a forest management plant for ecological or timber values.
Kalkaska County is covered by the Conservationist housed in the Bellaire
NRCS office. You can reach them at (231) 533-8542 ext 3.

with her husband, Kevin in Marion. As a farmer herself she understands what it
takes to make a farm succeed & can help you reach your farm goals.
