Thinking of Planting?

Start Early
Planning is always advisable. With forestry it is essential. Forestry is a long-term undertaking. Today's decision will have far reaching consequences. We can help you in reaching that decision and then help you to implement it. There are many aspects to the decision process and some are outlined here. Start now!

Get Planting Approval
You must have written approval before work starts on your plantation (there may be some restrictions). Planting approval applications must be drawn up and submitted to Forest Service by an approved forester.

Set your objectives
Additional income, adding value to your land, providing for a family member, early retirement? Basic income per acre of forestry is easily calculated. It is usually not that difficult to see whether forestry would be a more productive and rewarding use of some or all of your land. Take a long view. Forestry premium is guaranteed for twenty years, subject to scheme conditions. The earlier you move the earlier you will benefit.

There are incentives for planting - basically grants which cover the cost of planting in many cases and premium payments which provide a tax free reviewable income for up to twenty years. To see details click on Grants or Premiums. The long term pay-off comes from timber sales from well chosen locations, soils and species and well managed forests.
