 Alpena Hardboard Facility
Forest Management Program
At DPI - Alpena Hardboard, our foresters recommend management
options based on the ecology and health of your forestland, while encompassing the goals
for your property. When you chose to harvest timber, a forestry agreement or timber sale
contract formalizes the details of what, when, where and how the trees are
harvested. At DPI, protecting land and water resources, and promoting sustainable
forestry are always fundamental objectives.
DPI-Alpena
Hardboard’s free Forest Management Program
helps guide forest landowners in northeast lower Michigan including those in Alcona,
Alpena, Arenac, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Crawford, Emmet, Iosco, Montmorency, Ogemaw,
Oscoda, Presque Isle, and Roscommon Counties through all aspects of the logging and timber
harvesting process. Alpena Hardboard’s foresters map properties, write forest
management plans, perform Tree Farm inspections, cruise timber, mark timber, supervise
logging contractors and buy standing timber. Our foresters are also familiar with
timber markets, offer roadwork design recommendations, create wildlife habitat and food
plots, and provide periodic mailings to forest landowners in this Forest Management
Program.
