There is real money available to New York woodland owners, and most of it goes unclaimed because nobody explains it in one place. This session is that place. Every program side by side, what each one asks of you, and the ones you can combine.
Free. No sales pitch. A recording goes to everyone who registers, whether you make it live or not.
Seven chapters and the longest question session of the three, because this is the one where people arrive with a specific parcel and a specific goal.
Every program open to New York landowners, side by side
What actually exists right now, in one place, without the acronym soup. Federal and state, and which ones are worth your attention.
Who each one actually suits
By acreage, by what you want from the property, and honestly, by how much paperwork you can stomach. Some of these are not worth it for a smaller parcel and we will tell you which.
What the application really involves
Including the parts people find annoying. Timelines, site visits, what you have to supply, and where applications usually stall.
What you can and cannot stack
The rules on combining programs, which is where most of the money is either found or lost.
Getting paid to hold your best trees
The foregone income idea, which most landowners have never heard of, and how it works through our AMP project. This is the part of the series people tend to be most surprised by.
How AMRO helps, and where you are on your own
What we do, what we cannot do for you, and what you should expect to handle yourself.
Your questions
Twenty minutes, genuinely open. Bring your parcel details and we will point you at the right program.

Three sessions, all Thursdays at noon. They stand alone, so you can come to one or all three, but they are built to run in order. Registering for more than one is a single form.
Understanding Your Forest and Why Management Matters
What management actually means, why a managed forest holds more game, and what a habitat cut looks like on the ground.
What Is in My Woods, and Is It Worth Anything?
What drives timber value, the high grading trap, and what a management plan is and costs.
What Programs Are Open to New York Landowners Right Now?
Every program side by side, who each one suits, what the paperwork really involves, and what you can stack.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is nothing to buy on the call and nobody will phone you afterwards unless you ask us to.
What if I cannot make it at noon?
Register anyway. The recording goes to everyone who signed up, live attendance or not, and it does not expire.
How long is it?
About an hour. Roughly forty minutes of material and twenty minutes of questions, and we mean the questions part.
Do I need to own a lot of land?
No. We work with properties from a handful of acres upward, and the smaller ones often have the most straightforward options.
Will you try to sell me a timber harvest?
No. Plenty of the properties we look at should not be cut at all right now, and we will say so. That is rather the point of the series.
Can I bring a question about my own property?
Please do. Put it in the box on the form when you register and we will try to work it into the session.
