• We will send you a list, including contact information, of Tree Farm Inspectors in your area.
• You and a local Tree Farm Inspector will schedule a visit to your property.
• If your forest qualifies, the Tree Farm Inspector will submit an inspection report to the State Tree Farm committee. A copy is also sent to the national office of ATFS®.
• You will receive a Tree Farm Certificate and be offered an opportunity to display a Tree Farm or Family Forest sign.
• If your forest does not qualify, the inspecting forester will advise you on the steps necessary for you to meet the Tree Farm Standard. You may enter the program as a Pioneer Tree Farm, but will not be certified until you meet the Tree Farm Standard.
