style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black">This new program will allow</SPAN></FONT>
small forest landowners to apply for a Long-Term Application that is valid for
up to 15 years. This new opportunity is expected to ease the paperwork
burden and allow more flexibility in timing harvests, but the process of filing
a long-term permit will be much different than the standard 2-year permit.
The Small Forest Landowner Office will hold several outreach events to notify
the public of this new program, and to educate the forestry community about the
process of filing a Long-Term Application. Many forest owners will not be
interested in the Long-Term Application, so the standard application is still
available. <o:p></o:p></P>
