The secretary for energy and environment, or his authorized agent, may, upon
request, and whenever he deems it essential to the best interests of the people
of the Commonwealth, cooperate with counties, cities, corporations, institutions
or individuals in preparing plans for the protection, management and
replacement of trees, woodlands and timber tracts, under an agreement that
the parties obtaining such assistance pay at least the field expenses of the
men employed in preparing said plans. Services rendered under this
cooperative plan may include the designation of trees for sale or removal,
measuring or estimating the commercial volume contained in the trees
designated, marketing advice, and general forestry advice concerning the
management of the landowner's forest.
When services are rendered under this section, the landowner or his agent,
upon presentation of a statement, shall pay to the Energy and Environment
Cabinet, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the statement, the amount due. The
amounts so collected by the Energy and Environment Cabinet shall be paid
into the State Treasury and shall be credited to a special fund for forest
management and marketing, and, with such other funds as may be
appropriated by the General Assembly, or contributed by the United States or
any governmental or private agency for such purposes, shall be used and
disbursed by the Energy and Environment Cabinet for such purpose.
