Assessing Various Community Tree and Forest Values With Inventories
University Outreach Publication
Determining the value of any object or function is a question for the marketplace filled with willing buyers and sellers. This ephemeral value of the marketplace is in sharp contrast with perceived values only apparent when comparisons are made by eliminating objects, or over inflating expectations of their future worth. This is the plight of the community natural resource manager, caught between a marketplace and perceived norms of environmental values. The solution remains the same regardless of the problem in that there must be accepted methods for reaching "objective" values. Inventories of objects, attributes and values are critical to the success of community natural resource programs.
