Gone are the days when outdoor enthusiasts can just strike out and hunt, hike, ride, or camp wherever the trail leads them. These days, recreational opportunities on public lands are becoming increasingly limited and more tightly controlled and privately owned lands are being closed to public access or being lost to development altogether. Many private forestland owners have taken advantage of increased recreational demands by leasing out recreational rights on their property to individuals or clubs. In addition to extra income, this arrangement offers benefits like increased property security, assistance in management, and increased quality of the property's wildlife habitat and game populations. These are mostly hunting leases, but there is also an increasing demand for other uses such as camping, fishing, and horseback riding.

Through its Legacy Wildlife Services Division, Natural Resource Planning Services, Inc. (NRPS) manages recreational (primarily hunting) leases on approximately 250,000 acres of timberland in the Southeastern U.S. Our clients have seen first hand the increased value that our recreational lease management services can bring to their properties. Legacy Wildlife Services offers a turn-key lease management program that provides the landowner top-dollar income from the lease while relieving them of the time commitment and stress associated with administering the lease and managing the club.
