Annual Work Plans
Annual Work Plans (AWPs) detail all projects scheduled for the fiscal year across five management categories: Forest Economy, Forest Conservation, Water Quality, Wildlife Habitat, and Recreation and Cultural Heritage. AWPs are formulated a year in advance and are developed to meet the land management guidelines and objectives established in the SFMP.
Forest Certification
Green Ridge State Forest is certified under both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC® C016194) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI®-00050) standards. Certification is verified through independent third-party audits conducted annually.
