Forestry and Professionals

Private Lands Forestry Referral Service:

 
1.) Private landowners who contact the 

Iron Baraga Conservation District with

forestry related questions or visit the website, will be able to receive a referral to a forester free of charge. The landowner will fill out a forestry referral form (number acres, forest type, what kind of forestry assistance they are interested in). This form is available in our office and to anyone who visits the website.

2.) The Landowner submits the request to the Iron Baraga Conservation District.

3.)  The District will then email the request directly to the consulting  foresters who have expressed an interest in being on our referral list.  We will also keep a listing of the referral requests on this tab.  (Referrals will be open a standard 2 weeks long unless otherwise  requested by the landowner).

4.) Resource professionals will express their interest in a particular job to the Conservation District.

5.) We will forward all responses to the landowner. The landowner will decide which resource professional to work with.

6.) There will be follow-up with each landowner to be sure they have received the assistance they need.

7.)  The FAP forester will then request information from the landowner or  Forester (after landowners approval) for financial information to be added to a database. (The information will not be linked to any names or  specific location, the information will be aggregated to the county  level for reporting on success of this program.

Iron Baraga Conservation District FAP Forester

  

Hello, my name is Carly DeVet and I am the new FAP Forester for Iron and Baraga Counties! 

I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and am happy to be able to call it home again. 

I graduated from Michigan Technological University in the Spring of 2019 with a Bachelors's degree in Forestry and a Minor in Ecology. 

I have previous experience working as a Forest Administrator in the state of Wisconsin and as a Utility Forester in the Lower Peninsula. 

I am excited for the opportunity to be able to assist the forest owners of Iron and Baraga counties and help them reach their management goals. 

If you have any questions or are interested in feedback on managing your property, please contact me at (906) 236-5108 or (906) 875-3765 for a FREE site visit.
