Presentation Summary:
As you look at the forest around the state, did you know that the vast majority of it is owned by people like you – families and individuals? 70% of the state’s forest is privately-owned with a lot of unique owners making unique decisions about the well-being and care of those woods. 2010 was the last year of a statewide forest landowners survey to better understand the values, goals, and activities of these landowners. In 2021 we repeated that survey to see how current forest landowners approach their ownership. This presentation will share what we’ve learned about forest landowners today and how they care for their woods and show some comparison to how landowners cared for their woods over a decade ago.
