Forest
Management

We continue to implement our long-term forestry management program and its enhancement of our area’s ecology. A tangible benefit of the program is it’s generation of revenue through biennial timber sales. The Authority has earned total net revenue over the past thirty years of approximately $1,200,000, enabling us to minimize the need for rate increases (the last of which was over twelve years ago).
