Food Plots Recommendation Please

[Metropig]

I have searched all over the Google and maybe I am not looking for the right thing, but I am not finding what I am looking for.

Does anyone have a recommendation for Forestry Management Plans? I am looking to do a Greenbelt exception and need to complete a Forestry Management Plan to submit with the application, but I can not seem to find who completes those. It looks like I could submit one on my own, but after reviewing the application, I don't have the knowledge that the application asks for.

any suggestions.

It's not hard to write your own... just mostly common sense stuff such as short and long term goals. The counties I've submitted my own have never had a problem with them, and I have zero degrees in forestry management

You can contact a private Forester and request they walk your property and develop a management plan, there will be a fee, but not bad....or if you know someone who has a management plan already you could read it, get ideas, understand the verbiage better, then write your own...and TN Dept of Forestry might could assist you with the process. TWRA even has habitat specialist that assist landowners at no cost. They may help you develop a plan that would meet the requirements.

Write your own or text me. It's nothing to it. Not being rude the person in charge reading your plan probably has no clue.
I have proposed numerous plans and all were accepted

Your property assessor should have pointed you to this link. Write your own. Don't pay anyone to do it for you.

TDF can help with a management plan but do not write greenbelt plans.

Thanks for all the quick replies. I'll take a closer look at that application and see if I can't figure it out.

Correct...but I believe you need a timber management plan to submit along with your greenbelt application...at least thats how it was in our county....so for the Op TDF may be a starting point if he needs assistance...also a learning oppurtunity for someone who hasnt walked their timber with a Forester....but I do agree, you can figure it out on your own with some research, short and long term plan, etc.
