Landowner Signature
The most important information on a cutting plan is the Landowner's objective, as this will determine which trees will be harvested and
which will remain; this decision will also determine the future condition of the forest for decades to come. After having read the
Massachusetts Forest Cutting Plan Information Sheet on page one, indicate your objective by checking the appropriate box below.
❑ LT — Long -term Forest Management ® ST - Short -term Harvest
Planned management of the forest to achieve one or more of the Harvest of trees with the main intention of producing
