Local F orest Ranger
outlines responsibility
Holding title to fores
land and other resource;
makes it morally bindinj
to manage those resource
to the fullest potential
Many people are fortunati
enough to hold title to vas
areas of forest land but
care nothing for seeing
that the forest is managec
for the future. The reasor
for this is because then
may not be any present
economic benefits becausc
their forest is not produc
tive. If this shoe fits,
citizens are urged to call
the Perquimans County
Forest Ranger.
A free examination and
management plan will
determine what is needed.
Federal and state cost
share assistance funds will
pay for 60 percent of the
needed practices for quali
fying landowners. Qualify
ing does not involve a legal
t can of worms, and after
t the examination and plan
I is prepared you are under
s no obligation to follow the
. plan except your moral
? obligation of being a good
t steward of the land,
t Many more people
! refuse to manage their
I forest land that have
i benefited in the past. How
! many mortages do you
t suppose were paid off on
! land from the receipts of
timber sales? If this shoe
fits, citizens are urged to
call the Perquimans Coun
ty Forest Ranger. A free
examination and manage
ment plan will determine
what is needed, and you
can get federal and state
cost share assistance funds
that will pay 60 percent
of your cost for needed
practices.
The services offered by
the North Carolina Forest
Service in forest manage
ment assistance art
sincere and we can help
you, the forest resources.
The future of the forest is
critical if not managed.
You must voluntarily take
action now by contacting
the Perquimans County
Forest Ranger. It may not
always be an easy battle
managing your forest, if it
is in poor health, but we
know how to make it
easier.
It is your right not to
take advantage of the ser
vices available. Remem
ber though it is your right
to refuse. It is also your
moral obligation not to
refuse. Only you are
responsible for the future
outcome of the forest titled
in your name.
