Page Description
The regulations on this page may or may not apply to any particular situation involving a private, nonindustrial forest landowner's land. They are listed here, however, to make users aware that there are regulations at the state and federal level that may apply throughout the state, regardless of the county or municipal jurisdiction in which the landowner resides. County and municipal ordinances may refer to these state and federal regulations but they may also be separate and distinct additional layers of regulation that may apply to such land as well. These ordinances may have requirements also, where allowed, that are more strict then state or federal regulations. Please be sure to read the disclaimer before using this page and website.
