The Spokane County Conservation District acts as an information hub to help guide small forest landowners to areas where their forestry needs can be addressed and answered. The forestry section on this web site provides initial information on:
The Washington Department of Natural Resources small forest landowner office is a valuable resource for small forest landowners. The website provides a variety of information, including a list of additional resources.
The Forest Practices Act and the Forest Practices Rules, which implement regulations relating to growing, harvesting, and processing of timber, apply to all private and government forest lands. The regulations attempt to balance the desire to protect public forest resources while allowing productive timber growth and harvest. Forest Practices Illustrated is a book from DNR designed to help forest owners, loggers, and others better understand the Forest Practices Rules and how they protect fish, water, wildlife, and state and municipal capital improvements. The book includes detailed forestry rules, along with photographs and illustrations of forest practices.
