The District Forester provides professional management advice
to the private landowner, taking into account, his or her objectives
and goals. In addition to working with private landowners, the
Forester is in charge of managing Oswego County's reforestation
properties.
There are approximately 2,069 acres of County reforestation
properties, spread among 28 parcels. The parcels range in size
from 1.45 acres to just over 200 acres and are scattered throughout
7 townships. A systematic inventory is done on each parcel and
includes basal area measurements, diameter at breast height, tree
height, merchantability, and stand health. Once the inventory
is complete, the Forester develops a sustainable forest management
marking guide. One unit of land is advertised for competitive
bid each year.
