The Commercial Forest Act was created by PA 94, 1925, and provides a specific tax incentive for forest landowners who have an interest in long-term forest management for timber production. The act creates the Commercial Forest Program, which is administered by the Department of Natural Resources. Landowners pay reduced property taxes. Participants in the Commercial Forest Program are required to make their lands available to the public for hunting, trapping, and fishing.
