A series of six statewide meetings has been set for public review of the 2006 State Forest Management Plan, according to the Department of Natural Resources. The plan is part of the DNR's effort to maintain its forest certification. The DNR was certified in forest management by two independent, third-party organizations earlier this year, signifying that the department manages the state forests in an ecologically sound and sustainable way.
The draft plan is available starting today on the DNR's Web site at http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-153-30301_39170-144977--,00.html
