Management Plan

On June 28, 2007 the Lake County Board of Commissioners passed the Lake County Working Management Plan to better manage lake county’s tax forfeit and county fee lands:


Management Plan Resolution

WHEREAS, market conditions, harvesting methods, management guidelines and legislation are changing at a rapid pace,

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake County Board of Commissioners adopts the present draft management plan as the Working Management Plan,

The Working Management plan will be modified in the future in the following ways:
