It was a sure thing that this was a sacrifice on her part. Responses to the Plaindealer columns stating the needs of FISH are very gratifying, people called in offering fur­ niture, making it possible to supply several families with the living room furniture and beds they needed. There is no im­ mediate need for items such as this right at this time; and there is no storage space to use until future requests are made. But there is presently a need for tables and chairs for two famiii-- and also two dressers. All the members of the FISH organization and the many volunteers for special projects were most pleased to learn that Joan "Bauer was chosen as the 1983 'Woman of the Year' by the McHenry Business and Professional Women.

Since Oct. 1, a four percent harvest fee has been deducted from the price paid on timber or logs purchased from Illinois timber owners. Fee proceeds are forwarded to the Depart­ ment of Conservation to finance a new Forestry Development Cost Share program aimed at improving forest resources throughout the state. This money will be returned to land owners as an incentive to practice good forest and wildlife management, according to DOC Forester John Sester. The fee and forestry development cost program are part of the recent signed Illinois Forestry Development Act that also created an Illinois Commission on Forestry Development to study and evaluate the state's forest resources and forestry industry. The commission, whose activities also will be funded by the new harvest fee, will look into what forestry and other conservation programs need in order to support and enhance forest resource development. Under the new law, the four percent fee will be deducted and forwarded to the Conservation Department by the timber buyer from the price agreed upon with the landowner, even when payment is made via a barter arrangement. Sester, DOC's Forest Products staff forester, said the law applies also to growers who cut and sell timber grown on their lands for other man their personal use. Industries utilizing timber grown on their land must, establish a value for the processed timber and for­ ward the required fee. Exempt from the fee, however, are Christmas trees and firewood, Sester said. . Sester said land owners can receive up to 20 percent of the cost of "acceptable" forestry management practices under the Forestry Development Cost Share program. Such practices might include site preparation, brush control, purchase of planting stock, planting, weed and pes t cont ro l , f i re management practices, timber stand improvement, and other practices determined by the Conservation Department to be essential to responsible timber management. To participate in the plan, a land owner must have at least five contiguous acres to devote to the program, and must prepare a forestry management plan acceptable to the Con­ servation Department, Sester said. The law also provides that forest lands having a DOC proved management plan be assessed as "outer far­ mland." Assessment wil be one- sixth the established rate based on the cropland .productivity index for the managed lands. Included in such a forestry management plan, according to the law, are these components: a description of the land to be managed; a description of the types of timber to be grown a projected harvest schedule; description of forestry management practices to be applied; an estimate of costs for these practices; plans for 'af­ forestation' -establishing new forest on lands not previously forested; plans for regenerative harvest and reforestation; and descriptions of soil and water conservation goals, and wildlife habitat enhancement expected to result from the plan. Sester said the Conservation Department will review forestry plans and assist forest owners with them whenever necessary. Plans will be evaluated for reapproval annually. DOC Administrative Orders are being prepared for ad­ ministration of the new law. Cost sharing funds will be ap­ propriated and made available as soon as possible. For further information on the law, contact the Department of Conservation, Division of Forest Resources and Natural Heritage, 524 South Second Street, Springfield, IU., 62706, or phone (217) 782-2361.
