Land Assistance Program

Currently available in Kentucky & Missouri

Independent Stave Company's Land Assistance Program provides owners of forestland in Kentucky and Missouri an opportunity to implement projects that enhance the forests on their property. The projects may include: timber harvest, tree planting, control of non-native plants, thinning of small trees to enhance growth and many other treatments to improve forests.

SERVICES INCLUDE:

  • Conversations with the landowner to determine their desires related to their forest
  • Inventory of the forest to determine what is possible
  • Conversation to describe options they have to meet their desires
  • Development of a management plan unique to their property
  • Implementation of projects to maintain and improve their forest inline with their desires.
  • Assistance with administrative tasks related to implementing the projects (filling out government cost-share program forms, preparing and implementing contracts, meeting with government inspectors, enrollment in sustainability certification programs (i.e., American Tree Farm Program), etc.)
