Where do I get help for developing a management plan?
It is not required to hire a professional to develop a management plan for your property. Some Management Plans can be very simple. The Landowner Incentive Program can assist you in developing a management plan and objectives for your property, as will some land trusts, NGOs, consulting firms, and contractors. Be aware that some of these sources may charge for this service. You may also view some examples and a template to get started on your own through the LIP resources page. You may contact LIP staff throughout the process for questions on techniques, or where to find information for your plan. You do not need to have a completed management plan in place prior to applying to LIP. If your project is selected, LIP will work with you to develop a management plan before the project begins.
