As a private landowner, you have options for managing your property for forest health, wildlife, ecological diversity, and watershed management. Whatever your goals are, Northland Habitat's range of services will leave you with the tools you need to start working towards maximizing your property's potential!
To work towards any goal, establishing a plan is a must. Through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Woodland Stewardship program allows Northland Habitat to provide landowners with custom management plans for achieving timber, wildlife habitat, recreation, and other land uses through proper forestry and wildlife management strategies.
Make the most out of your slice of heaven with custom forestry plans from Northland Habitat. Fill out the contact form if your plan expired.
Get rewarded for managing your property! Woodland Stewardship Plans help private landowners qualify for two different tax savings programs. Sometimes money can grow on trees.
Class 2c Managed Forestland gives landowners roughly a 35% reduction in property taxes on the land enrolled in the program.
The Sustainable Forest Incentive Act (SFIA) allows the landowner to get paid on a per-acre basis while maintaining the same tax class. There are three minimum enrollment periods: 8, 20, and 50 years, with higher payments for longer enrollment periods.
We love wildlife as much as you do! And with previous work with the National Deer Association we can help you fellow deer nerds take your property to the next level with a holistic approach.
The way you manage your forest impacts the wildlife that resides on your property. We will develop strategies for your goals to enable you to get the most out of your property.
Take your stewardship plan to the next level and get a specific Wildlife or Deer Management Plan to know precisely where to implement our recommended habitat improvements!
Timber harvesting is one of the best management tools for promoting forest health and establishing more wildlife habitat.
There are multiple timber harvest types available. With our partners, we will guide you through the harvest process with timber valuation, finding a logger, managing the sale, and prescribing the kind of harvest that best suits your goals. We work for you!
