480a Management Plan

A document submited to NY Department of Environmental Conservation to enroll your property in the 480a Forest Tax Law. The 480a Management Plan shows the boundaries and size of your woodlot, what kinds and sizes of trees it contains, and what needs to be done to harvest trees. A plan identifies scheduled commercial harvests, noncommercial thinnings, road construction, and other management practices. These practices are listed in a work schedule that shows the work to be done each year for the next 15 years.
