WHAT IS THE FORESTRY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM? The Forestry Assistance Program is designed to provide an initial professional contact with landowners who are interested in actively managing their forested property. The forester can then help landowners better understand, plan, manage, protect and utilize their forest resources through various avenues of information, education and outreach. All of our services are at no cost to the landowner and provide an excellent initial contact between professionals and landowners. We aim to promote forest resource stewardship on private lands in local communities by introducing landowners to forest management and setting them up to achieve their management goals. |

Meet our District Forester
|
I'm Parker Wohlstein and I'm the conservation district forester for Gogebic and Ontonagon counties. I graduated from University of Kentucky with a Bachelors in Forestry and a minor in Wildlife Biology and Management. I've worked for several natural resource agencies across the country doing extensive work in forestry, wildlife, and botany. In my freetime I enjoy hiking/backpacking, hunting, fishing, and doing it all with my wife. Though I have mainly lived in the South, I immediately felt at home in the U.P. because of the beauty of the forests and the friendly people. I am excited to be the conservation district forester to help preserve and improve the private forests of the U.P. for the sake of the residents and future generations.
