The amount of the credit is equal to 25 percent of the value of the timber in the forest retained as a buffer, up to $17,500. The State Forester is directed to develop guidelines and to certify individual plans of qualifying taxpayers. There is a recapture provision if the timber is harvested before the end of the 15 year period.
