Wildlife Management Plans
what are they?
Wildlife management plans are similar to timber management plans, but the primary focus is on wildlife rather than timber. Landowners may choose to manage for game, non-game species, or both. While prioritizing wildlife can sometimes reduce timber revenue, it often increases the overall value and appeal of the property. Plans are written with a ten-year outlook and revised every five years to ensure they stay effective. When wildlife is intended as a direct source of revenue—such as for hunting retreats—Acorn may also work with other professionals to provide specialized input.
their benefit to you:
A wildlife management plan helps landowners create healthier, more diverse habitats while aligning property use with their goals. These plans can unlock new revenue opportunities through hunting or recreation and may also qualify the landowner for property tax benefits, often at a lower rate than timberland. By making wildlife the guiding focus, landowners can enhance their property’s ecological value while enjoying its recreational and economic benefits.
