Wyoming Forest Stewardship Program
The 1990 Farm Bill (officially called the 1990 Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act) was the first to include the forestry title (Title XII), called the Forest Stewardship Assistance Act. This Act included several amendments to the 1978 Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act, including authorization of the Forest Stewardship Program.
In Wyoming, 10,288 private landowners held 1,697,900 acres of non-industrial
private forested land (NIPF). The Forest Stewardship Program (FSP) brings
professional resource management expertise to private landowners to assist
landowners in the development of management plans that will meet their
overall long-term objectives for their forested property.
