  • 2015 West Virginia Forest Health Highlights
    2015 Forest Health WEST VIRGINIA highlights Forest Resource Summary The West Virginia landscape is dominated by more than 11.8 million acres of forest. Due in large part to the State’s varied topography, the forest is a rich diversity of oaks, hickories, spruce, pines, and the West Virginia State Tree—sugar maple. Ninety percent of all forests in West Virginia are privately owned, but there are 8 State forests, 34 State parks, and 87 wildlife management areas that provide public enjoyment. Forest Stewardship The West Virginia Division of Forestry Forest Land Ownership in West Virginia, 2012 administers the Forest Management Program. The intent of the program is to help private, nonindustrial forest landowners improve their forests by managing them in a sound, scientific manner. Within this program, the Forest Stewardship Program offers a forest management plan written by a professional forester based on the landowner’s objectives. Other programs, EQIP and CREP, provide financial assistance for recreation, forest improvement, soil and water protection, wetlands protection, fisheries habitat Forest Service Northeastern Area West Virginia Department of State and Private Forestry Agriculture April 2016 Net Volume of Growing Stock on Timberland by Species in West Virginia, 2012 enhancement, wildlife habitat enhancement, tree planting, and improvement of forest roads.
