Abstract Private forestry consultants working in Georgia were surveyed regarding technical assistance provided to the state's nonindustrial private forest landowners. In 1983, the 79 responding consultants managed more than 1.3 million ac, site-prepared 27,375 ac, planted 21,515 ac, and marked and sold more than 274,000 cords of pine pulpwood and 178,000,000 bd ft of pine sawtimber. Projections for the total known consultant population in Georgia indicate that 1.8 million ac were managed, 37,427 ac site-prepared, and 29,413 ac planted. Average fees charged by consultants were also surveyed and summarized. South. J. Appl. For. 10:225-230, Nov. 1986.

Understanding factors that influence how promptly landowners regenerate their timberlands after harvest, if at all, is critical to developing policies to improve forest productivity. Mississippi forest landowners with over 100 acres (1 acre = 0.404 ha) of forestland were surveyed in 2006 to collect harvest and regeneration data from 1996 to 2006. This study investigated the length of the time interval between harvest and reforestation. Nonparametric duration analysis was used to examine how long nonindustrial private forest landowners waited to reforest after harvesting. Parametric duration analysis was used to examine factors that influenced the length of this period. The mean time elapsed from harvest to regeneration was 11 months for landowners that regenerated their lands. The instantaneous probability of regeneration reached its highest value in the 16th month after harvest and, thereafter, decreased steadily until the 28th month, after which the probability of regeneration was essentially nil. Interest in timber production, employing a consultant, and ownerships that were predominantly pine forest types were factors associated with substantially shorter reforestation times. Lower stumpage prices and higher reforestation costs were associated with substantially longer reforestation times.

Private Forest Landowners

Abstract Many forest landowners in the Appalachian region are at risk from timber theft and trespass. State laws within this region provide a confusing assortment of civil and criminal remedies to address such infractions. These heterogeneous laws address timber theft in varying specificityand intensity. A range of interpretations by courts have further impacted the meaning and effectiveness of existing laws. Few current civil and criminal remedies appear to provide sufficient protections for private forest landowners, and review and revision of existing statutory structuresis warranted. Specific areas of focus should include statutes of limitation, the issue of trespasser intent, and the method for ascertaining the landowners' damages.North. J. Appl. For. 22(2):94–101.

Abstract Many past industrial leases of private timberlands have proven unsatisfactory for landowners, because lease payments were constant during periods of rapidly increasing timber prices. Although many contracts now index lease payments to the inflation rate, few incorporate real increases in stumpage prices above the inflation rate. This paper examines variations of two basic methods for incorporating real stumpage price-increases into formulas for determining acceptable lease payments from views of both landowner and firm. These approaches offer more satisfactory means for nonindustrial private forest landowners to receive annual income before harvest and for firms to obtain wood supplies without the high cost of land purchase.
