Some states have adopted specific laws and complex regulations governing forest management activities. Both state and federal laws may apply to some forest land management activities in Nebraska. This is especially true of road construction near waterways. Laws are not covered by this publication. Landowners should contact local authorities about laws which may apply prior to beginning any work. The Nebraska Forest Service believes voluntary Best Management Practices (BMPs), when carefully applied, will ensure the productivity of our woodlands during timber harvesting, thinning, tree planting, and other forest management activities. The goal is sustainable production of a mixture of "outputs" with minimal negative environmental impacts. Outputs can mean traditional wood products such as logs or fence posts, but can also include recreation and aesthetic value, water, mushrooms, and other nontraditional products. Not all products can be produced from every acre. Some negative impacts may result from woodland management, as they do from most human activities, but negative impacts resulting from good management are normally acceptable and temporary.
