To expand the eligibility for certain forest property tax breaks to owners of smaller parcels (a separate program gives breaks to large "industrial" forest tracts and requires owners to allow public recreational access), double the number of acres eligible for these smaller "qualified forest" tax breaks from 1.2 million to 2.4 million statewide, authorize a new 2 mill property tax on property in this program that would go to proposed "Private Forestland Enhancement Fund" to subsidize private forestland management activities, and revise other details of this program.
