Sec. 19. At least once every seven (7) years the state forester, or the state forester's deputy, shall inspect each parcel of land which is classified as native forest land, a forest plantation, or wildlands. On each inspection trip the state forester, or the state forester's deputy, shall, if possible, have the owner go over the parcel with the state forester and shall point out to the owner any needed improvement. If the landowner chooses not to accompany the state forester in person, the state forester may use a geographic information system (GIS) or other remote sensing technology to conduct the inspection. In addition, the state forester shall give the owner a written report of the inspection and the state forester's recommendations. A permanent record of each inspection shall be maintained in the office of the state forester.
