Forest Stewardship Plans

Many states offer Forest Stewardship Programs that help landowners actively manage their woodlands for a wide range of ecological, recreational, and economic objectives. While these programs often complement state forest tax incentive programs, they place a greater emphasis on long-term forest stewardship, including wildlife habitat enhancement, invasive species management, forest health, and climate resiliency.

Casadei Forestry Services is qualified to prepare stewardship plans tailored to your property's unique resources and your long-term management goals. Our foresters are certified to prepare Massachusetts Bird Habitat and Climate Forestry Plans and are Audubon-endorsed foresters in Connecticut, providing landowners with expert guidance on wildlife-friendly and climate-smart forestry practices.

In addition to developing stewardship plans, our foresters assist landowners with identifying and applying for available state cost-share opportunities. We can help guide you through programs such as the Massachusetts Climate Forestry Incentive Program (C-SIP) and the Connecticut Forest Resilience Program, making it easier to implement stewardship practices while reducing out-of-pocket costs.
