| Abstract: |
Nonindustrial private forest owners are especially important to American forestry, given their influence as stewards of 57% of the nation's commercial forestland. As members of the forestry community we might expect them to know more about and feel differently toward forestry than the rest of the public. What if, in forestry knowledge and attitudes, forest owners are indistinguishable from the general public? Is the forestry community a granfalloon figment of our profession's imagination? Results from a recent public opinion survey of forest practices and policies in the Mid-South shed some light on this and related questions. |
