‘Call Before You Cut’ offers aid to W.Va. landowners
Managing your woodland can be a daunting task, but help is here for West Virginia landowners.
The "Call Before You Cut" program, which launched last week, caters to the needs of those seeking professional advice on how to manage their woodlands. A toll-free telephone number, 1-888-4WVCBYC, allows landowners to speak directly with a professional forester and request information that can help them with their long-term management plans.
"The Call Before You Cut program is targeted specifically to landowners who want to do something good for the land and for future generations," said Assistant State Forester Jeremy McGill. "This new resource will give landowners the tools they need to select reputable, licensed loggers, as well as help them make responsible long-term management decisions."
The Web site, www.callb4ucut.com, features sections on how to get started and who to contact for expert help. Information packets are available through the Web site and the toll-free telephone number.
