Forest, Wetlands & Habitat System
Verification in the Forest, Wetlands, and Habitat System recognizes the sustainable management practices implemented by landowners on their property. FWH verification provides landowners with a risk assessment targeting all areas of ownership.
The Forest, Wetlands & Habitat category focuses on practices that promote sustainable forestry, wetlands, and non-forest habitat. These include forest health; protecting air, water, and soil; and restoring habitat.
This category was created to help Michigan landowners to better understand, plan, manage, protect, and use their natural resources. To do this, conservation districts across the state provide education and one-on-one expert help to landowners on local forest health issues. Grants funds to support this work are provided by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD). The goal is to increase the number of landowners and acres that are managed under sustainable land management plans.
