I'm working through getting my place in Colorado setup with a formal Forestry Plan with the State of Colorado Forest Service and was just going to check if anyone on here has gone through this.
On my larger piece of property it is showing as agriculture use already but I have a bunch of 40 acre tracts that are theoretically subdivision property that the assessor won't just easily classify as agriculture use even though I have it certified through the Farm Service Agency.
The Forestry Plan is supposed to solve that for me and I'm working through the hoops on it and so far it seems like it isn't going to be terrible. I will have to annually harvest wood products from the property but as long as I'm following the plan it doesn't sound like it is going to mean that I need to be out there 24/7 chopping down trees or anything. It sounds like if I pull 3 or 4 cords of firewood off and sell them I should be good. I would like to do some thinning and mulching but that doesn't end up with a wood product so even if I have that in the plan I still need to have some wood coming off in addition to that.
Was just curious if anyone else has looked into it or is using it.
Thanks, Nathan
