Check with your state Department of Natural Resources, Forestry Division, for help in planning out a course of action for improving the health & quality of your woodlands. There are a number of things that can be done that benefit the trees, the wildlife & the landowners. The state foresters do this for free, & can let you know about any federal programs designed to help defray actual costs to the landowner.
