In order to conserve forests and the environmental and economic benefits they provide, it is the policy of Marshall Township to encourage the owners of forest land to continue to use their land for forestry purposes, including timber production, wildlife habitat management, watershed protection, recreational opportunities and amenity values. The following provisions are intended to further this policy by promoting good forest stewardship, protecting the rights of adjoining property owners, minimizing the potential for adverse environmental impacts and avoiding unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions on the right to practice forestry.
