Landowners With Less Than 10 Acres

No matter how small your woods are, there are steps you can take to improve forest health, and biodiversity.
Landowners with less than 10 acres make up 4 million acres of woodland in North Carolina. 

Small landowners are the unsung heroes of responsible stewardship.

Although many of our programs are targeted towards landowners with 10+ acres, you can still make a difference no matter the size of your land! Whether you’re looking to control invasive plants, encourage more wildlife visits, or reduce wildfire risk, there are steps you can take to improve your forest health.
