As of January 1, 2011, all Tree Farm plans must meet these new standards, and existing plans that are not yet outdated can be simply revised by submitting a completed management Plan Addendum that addresses the additional required standards. As part this process, the RITFC will contact each Tree Farmer during 2011 to offer a personal review, either at one of the workshops or by an inspecting forester.
Check your plan! Is it up to date? Have you reviewed it with your forester lately?
