Exploring Environmental Attitudes and Forest Program Uptake with Nonindustrial Private Forest Owners in Michigan

Abstract A mail survey of certified and noncertified forest managing entities (public agencies, forest industry, and nonindustrial private forest owners) in the US Pacific Northwest region (PNW) was conducted to better understand forest practitioners' perceptions related to the degree of change in forest practices. The results of this study reveal that forest managers perceive relatively small changes in practices in the US PNW, regardless of the certification standard used, although the degrees of change differed for public, forest industry, and nonindustrial private forest owners. This conclusion applies to both certified and noncertified holdings.

Nonindustrial Private Forest Owners

Abstract This paper evaluates the effectiveness of interorganizational coordination efforts in a hardwood management project for nonindustrial private forest owners in a 14 county region in northern lower Michigan. By various measures the coordination effort was judged to be a success. There were a number of factors and strategies that contributed to the success of the interorganizational coordination effort including: (1) prior cooperation in the region; (2) moving from informal cooperation to formal coordination; (3) moving from interpersonal to institutional linkages; (4) conditions of mutual dependency; (5) the coordinator's role strategies; and (6) common professional cultures. An understanding of these factors and strategies will be useful in facilitating similar coordination projects elsewhere, but it is stressed that the social conditions in different regions may be different and therefore necessitate a modification of these strategies to fit these differing conditions.

Nonindustrial Private Forest

Abstract Idaho's nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners were surveyed by mail to determine their sociodemographic characteristics, perceptions of the benefits received from owning forestland, use of forest management practices, harvesting plans, and use of forest management assistance. Data were reported for the entire state and also analyzed by ownership class. The sociodemographic profile of Idaho's NIPF owner is similar to that reported from other states. Major benefits of owning NIPF land were: wood for domestic use; esthetic enjoyment; and wildlife appreciation. Esthetics were more important to smaller landowners. Grazing and timber were benefits of importance to large landowners. Fifty-six percent of owners have harvested timber, varying from 35% of small holdings to 74% of large holdings. One-fourth of the owners say they will never harvest timber. Only 34% have ever sought professional forest management assistance. West. J. Appl. For. 6(2):32-36.
