Please note:  Anyone accessing the ASF program is now required to fill out only the Silviculture Funding Request Form for initial application. Please print the form and either fax or mail into the ASF. Funding will be allocated based on the percentage of total applicants. Please note that there are still funding caps of $10,000.00 per landowner and $40,000.00 per silviculture contractor or agent. All silviculture treatments must be completed within 90 days of application approval or funding may be cancelled.

*If you are applying for pre-commercial thinning in natural stands please note that there will be a limit on the amount of high density treatments that can be approved. Please apply for both high- and low-density pre-commercial thinning in natural stands where possible.

Please find a link to the ASF Procedures Manual below. Anyone accessing the program is required to follow the manual for field procedures.

Property ID Numbers (PIDS) are required for each application and claim.
