Good Forestry in the Granite State fulfills State Law (RSA 227-I:4) requiring the New Hampshire Dept. of Resources and Economic Development, Division of Forests and Lands to provide educational tools identifying recommended voluntary forest management practices. The mission of the division is to “protect and promote the values provided by trees and forests.” The division “executes all matters pertaining to forestry, forest management, and forest land within the jurisdiction of the state...” Primary responsibilities of the agency include managing state-owned reservations and forests, preventing and controlling forest fires, monitoring and protecting forest health, enforcing forest protection laws, and gathering statistics and information.
