Composed of commercial and individual landowners, private forests make up the largest proportion of Michigan's 20 million acres of forestland. MFPC works on behalf of landowners to increase benefits for active ownership, and provides education to help landowners manage properties to meet best management standards. 

Hosting A Tour Group

The MFPC Talent Taskforce has created a few tools that would be helpful if your organization would like to host a tour group. 

Below is a document that breaks down the items of importance to consider when organizing the group, ensuring group safety, effectivetly communicating to group members, etc.

The taskforce also created a powerpoint slide deck that highlights Michigan's forest products industry statistics, in a way that relates better to the general public. 

Benefits of Working Within The Forest Products Industry

At it's very core, timber harvesting is the most basic forest management activity. It is an important part of keeping both forests and the communities that depend on them healthy and sustainable. Skillful logging creates wildlife habitat and protects streams from erosion and landscapes from fire, while supporting our country's seventh largest industry: forest product manufacturing.
