America's Family Forest Owners by Brett J Butler, PhD
Breaking news: SAF’s new book, America’s Family Forest Owners, is coming hot off the press in a few weeks. The author, Brett J. Butler, PhD, is renowned for years of meticulous research cultivating a unique dataset on the largest forest-owning population in the country: family forest owners. Collectively, family forest owners maintain 272 million acres, 39% of the total forest land in the United States, more than any other ownership group. The fate of the nation’s forests lies largely in the hands of this diverse group. This book is the first of its kind to speak to those 10 million family forest owners.
Kathryn Fernholz, CEO and President of Dovetail Partners and Chair of the American Forest Foundation’s board of trustees says about the book, “America’s Family Forest Owners is an essential read for forestry students and others who care about America’s forests and the people that own them. This book is equally appropriate for seasoned professionals, college students, stakeholders, and general public fans of nonfiction!”
This exciting book fills a very needed gap. America’s Family Forest Owners is available for purchase on our website now! Visit the SAF bookstore to order your copy today.
