My neighbor says he does not need to file a Timber Harvest Plan he has an NTMP – what is that?
A Non-industrial Timber Management Plan (NTMP) is an alternative for landowners with less than 2,500 acres that are willing to manage their land using specific management techniques. Like a Timber Harvest Plan a Non-industrial Timber Management Plan must be prepared by a Registered Professional Forester and approved by California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. A Non-industrial Timber Management Plan is an environmental review document that outlines the long-term management of your property. It also locks in the Forest Practice Rules that were applicable at the time the NTMP is prepared. When you decide to harvest timber, you file a Notice of Intent with CDF that you intend to have one of your planned harvests. The process is streamlined allowing you to take advantage of high timber prices for example, and lowers the future costs.
