Based on responses from 1,000s of private forest owners from across the U.S., this project addresses questions related to: who owns America's forests, why they own them, what they have done with them in the past, and what they plan to do with them in the future.

This is an integrated project involving both research of and outreach to family forest owners. It is aimed at helping family forest owners pass their land onto the next generation with minimal losses of forest and minimal parcelization.
