The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Forestry is seeking your help to identify key issues, threats, and opportunities associated with Ohio’s forest resources. Your input will contribute to Ohio’s Forest Action Plan (FAP) that spans public and private forestlands, and urban and rural areas.
Ohio’s Forest Action Plan is being developed as required by the Federal Farm Bill. More details about Ohio’s Forest Action Plan will be posted at forestry.ohiodnr.gov/ForestActionPlan. The webpage will include draft action plan documents and a stakeholder survey on issues, threats, and opportunities for Ohio’s forests.
Please take a moment to complete the survey at the following link: Ohio's Forest Action Plan Stakeholder Survey
