ForPlanner is a forest planner designed with the forestry consultant in mind. It is a useful tool for anyone planning forestry activities to be done in a future time frame. ForPlanner is designed for the user to enter activities and leases that will need attention at future dates, then provide reports (whose output can be sent to the screen, printer, and WordPerfect data files) that focus on maturing activities and leases. Follow-up bookkeeping can also be done, after an activity (a forestry job) is completed. Estimates of timber volumes and values are also available at future dates via the use of compound growth percentages. ForPlanner allows easy communication with computer software outside its domain by creating DBF (database management) files that can be used for creating personalized letters and mailing labels.
