WV LANDOWNERS NEEDED FOR FORESTRY PROGRAM

(03/04/2009)

West Virginia landowners are being sought for participation in a federal effort to preserve forestland. The state Division of Forestry said Monday that applications for the Forest Legacy Program will be taken through February 28. Participating landowners sign a conservation easement that ensures the land is maintained as a working forest. Congress established the program in 1990 to protect the nation's forestland from development or other non-forest uses. State Forester Randy Dye says the program is a good way to conserve forests for future generations. For more about the program see conservationfund.org-West Virginia Forest Legacy Program
