Why would I choose a Timber Harvest Plan (THP) over a Non-industrial Timber Management Plan (NTMP)?
A Non-industrial Timber Management Plan (NTMP) limits the type of management that you can do. NTMPs are usually more expensive to prepare initially. If your property is small, you may not have enough timber overall to justify the extra expense of a NTMP. Again this all goes back to having a written plan so that you can compare your options and make informed decisions. The process of obtaining an NTMP is too long to describe well here.
