Stewplan
What is a Forest Stewardship Plan? A Forest Stewardship Plan is a management plan for non
industrial private forest land that provides the landowner with a multi-resource perspective on his/her land’s capabilities, and lays out specific tasks over a ten-year period, tied to the landowners goals and objectives.
A Forest Stewardship Plan is the management plan promoted by the Forest Stewardship Program – a Federal-State partnership that provides private forest landowners with technical and financial support to help ensure the sustainability of our nation’s private forest lands.

Stewplan
The goal of the Forest Stewardship program is to keep our Nation’s non-industrial private forest land in a productive, healthy condition for present and future generations.
A Forest Stewardship Plan results in an educated landowner, secure in the knowledge that the land is being well managed, and better able to make informed decisions when the time comes
Many landowners have no intention of harvesting timber – but ultimately do so

Stewplan
Why the need for software/What does it do?
Stewardship Plans must include certain items. Stewplan leads the preparer through a stepwise process to ensure that all elements are addressed. Results in a Plan with a logical flow and an easy to follow format.

Stewplan
Why the need for software?
Plan reviewers need to approve plans based on, among other things, their completeness.
With Stewplan, each plan’s layout is identical – greatly facilitating the review process.
![Page 6: Stewplan Free, User-Friendly Software for Forest Stewardship Plan Development An introduction to its use and usefulness DRAFT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f275503460f94c3e775/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stewplan
So each plan is identical?
No, only the layout. Each plan is entirely a creation of the individual author.
The look and contents of the plan can be customized with photo’s, logos, additional elements etc., all tailored to local requirements/interests.

Stewplan – Saving/Formatting
Stewplan Useful for those who are happy with the plan “as is” and
do not anticipate the need for formatting changes
Text Useful for those who want to modify format and do not
have “modern” wordprocessing software (loses much of the original formatting)
HTML Saving in this format, and then opening with MSWord
gives you a file that retains the original formatting, but allows for changes, additions, etc.
