| Abstract: |
Telephone interviews conducted in Fall, 1992 with 987 households throughout the Tennessee Valley region provide data on public knowledge and opinions regarding forestry practices, forest-based economic development, and forest policy. The idea of managing forest resources to produce consumer products enjoys considerable public support, however, concern over perceived detrimental impacts of management on the environmental values derived from forests is deep and widespread. Such concern dominates attitudes toward forestry practices, forest-based economic development, and regulation of practices on public and private land. Factual knowledge of forests and forest management practices is very limited. |
