| Abstract: |
In three northeastern and three southern states 748 loggers and consultants were surveyed. In the Northeast, the importance of regulation is limited by low levels of forest activity and small forested acreage. But in the South, large timber acreage and active markers magnified the importance of local regulation. Loggers and consultants reported examples of costly requirements, but most local laws were not viewed as burdensome. The results show that local forestry laws currently impose less of a burden than their absolute number would-suggest. |
