Abstract:

Motives: Due to the gradual increase in the area of privately owned forests in Poland, the system of supervision of forest management requires strengthening. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to present selected problems related to the functioning of the forest management supervision system in forests not owned by the State Treasury in Poland. Results: The significant fragmentation of privately owned forest plots and their dispersion require incentives from the state administration to create entities associating their owners and fuse forest land into larger complexes. The measures taken could

Abstract:

Canada has the third largest area of forest in the world after Russia and Brazil. About 89% is in public ownership; 11%, or 23 million ha, is privately owned. The comparatively small area of forest in private ownership has been largely overlooked. If it were a national forest, it would be the 11th largest in the world, between Japan and Finland, with the 8th largest production of industrial roundwood, between Finland and Germany. Canada's privately owned forest lands produce 19% of our wood supply, some 36 million m3 per year. There are about 425 000 owners with an average of 45 ha each. Their

Abstract:

In Canton Thurgovia 12 000 hectares or 56% of the forested area, is privately owned. Within the framework of a total regrouping policy the number of plots per owner has been reduced to one or two since 1945 comprising almost the entire area of privately owned forest. A ban on the splitting up of plots prevents them from being split up again. The consequences of annual contributions and meetings of the legal forestry authorities is that groups of inheritors (Erbengemeinschaften)are disentangled and outside owners sell to local individuals who are interested.

Abstract The discrepancy between the amount of privately owned forestland and the amount of well-managed privately owned forestland has been attributed to a variety of factors including the time, money, and knowledge required to manage private forestland and the degree to which forest management services offered by natural resource professionals reflect private forest landowner (PFL) interests. These views assume the value of forest management is, or can be, mutually understood but may have ignored mutual understanding of the concept itself.

Background and Purpose: Although organized forestry has existed in Croatia for more than 250 years, this mostly entailed state forests. During the last decade, Extension Services have started to support the development of forest management plans for privately owned forests. Lately, FMPs have been developed for nearly 3/4 of privately owned forests in Croatia. During the creation of those plans, yield tables and normal models for state-owned forests, primarily even-aged stands with long-time management, were used because similar data was not developed for uneven-aged and poorly managed forests.

Abstract A survey of the literature and experts, including recently released government data, indicates that the long-term viability of privately owned forests in the United States is increasingly threatened by conversion, fragmentation, parcelization, and diminished ecological function. In the face of these threats, those concerned about the future of private forests need to join in a new initiative to more effectively conserve and steward America's private forests. A framework for this initiative is described, as well as key tools to expand forest conservation.

In this study, we provide new insights to better understand Norwegian non-industrial private forest owners’ timber harvesting decisions.

Abstract:

Privately owned forest lands contribute significant amounts of land for wood supply and recreational opportunities in various parts of Canada including areas within Ontario. The decisions that landowners make about permitting various activities on their lands can impact resource managers and current and potential users of forested environments. In this study, the willingness of Ontario's non-industrial private forest landowners to conduct forest harvesting and to permit hunting and wildlife recreational opportunities is examined. The study explores whether the willingness of landowners with la

AbstractIn biodiversity hotspots, there is often tension between human needs and conservation, exacerbated when protected areas prevent access to natural resources. Forest-dependent people may compensate for exclusion by managing unprotected forests or cultivating planted woodlots. Outside Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, household wood product needs are high and population growth puts pressure on the environment. We investigated the role of privately and collectively managed woodlots in provisioning wood products and supporting local livelihoods. We found that households relied he

Abstract:

Wildlife-based tourism, including hunting, is attracting interest from governments, the tourism industry, and researchers. Capital investment in renewable resources, like forests, represents spatial and temporal management, which is significantly limited by the natural potential of a particular habitat (e.g., volume increment, the quantity of food for wildlife, etc.). Therefore, the return rate expected by the investor is quite fixed and the only tool by which the investor can increase it is by adding further business activities and/or expanding the existing value chain.

Abstract The state of Wisconsin has numerous forest ownership types. These include national, state, and county forests, as well as privately owned industrial and nonindustrial forests. In addition to sawlog markets, portions of the state also have substantial pulpwood markets associated withpaper and panel mills. Combined, these attributes make Wisconsin a good location for studies of how different markets and ownerships influence small-diameter timber utilization in the Midwest. In the fall of 2003 and the spring of 2004, recent timber sales were examined in four selected countiesin Wisconsin

Abstract:

The forests of the canton of Appenzell A.Rh. are mostly made up of silver fir and beech. Early settlements drove the forest back and up on to the steeper slopes. The industrialisation in the 18th and 19th centuries coupled with a growing population produced an additional uncontrolled cutting of the forest. By 1860 the composition of the stand of the remaining forest was entirely young trees. Private organisations, joined later by the canton, started a decades long lasting reforestation, for the main part with spruce. In order to increase growing stock the forestry services limited harvesting.

Abstract Purpose of Review Ownership patterns and the associated management characteristics are related to forest structures, biodiversity patterns, and their conservation worldwide. A literature review on this topic is missing so far. We fill this gap with an emphasis on the temperate forests of Europe and North America. Mixed-ownership landscapes are the special focus of the analysis. In a first step, historical effects of ownership patterns on forest structure and biodiversity are elucidated. Second, connections between present-time forest ownership patterns and both forest structural and b

Reduced to a tiny fraction of its original area, much of the Atlantic Forest habitat remaining in eastern Brazil is distributed in small, isolated patches on private land. The potential role of these fragments in the conservation of the region's primate fauna is poorly understood. As part of a study of buffy-headed marmosets Callithrix flavicepsin Minas Gerais, forest remnants were visited in order to evaluate this potential. Marmosets were observed in one-third of the sites and may exist in up to 60 per cent of forest patches in the region. A second threatened primate, the brown howler monkey

In Italy all wood related economic sectors operate in a highly disconnected forestrywood system with a fragmented and limited internal supply. Characteristic for Italian forests is a large amount of coppice and natural or semi-natural forests with a low utilisation rate. 60 % of the forests are privately owned, usually scattered without management plans. Only 1/3 of the annual increment is harvested. Lack of infrastructure makes access to forests difficult. In addition a strong regime of regulations and protected areas as well as a low mechanisation level make it difficult to harvest a suffici

A structure of small surfaces with a large proportion of private forest owners and important stocks of wood characterize forestry conditions in canton Appenzell Outer Rhodes. The forest owners are often lacking in initiative, in specific knowledge, in personal and financial resources and in suitable structures for a successful commercialization of non-wood services. A few positive examples show ways to improve this situation and demonstrate the importance, particularly in the privately owned forest sector, of an actively involved, versatile and interested forest ranger.

Abstract:

A forest model with an endogenous growth description and age-class structure is applied to study the impacts of potential climate policy instruments on the carbon services of privately owned and managed forests. The model describes the behaviour of a utility-maximizing private nonindustrial landowner who optimizes consumption flow, harvest timing, and the intertemporal allocation of silvicultural investments. Two policy options, one in which the landowner is granted periodic carbon rental payments and one in which the government subsidizes the costs of silvicultural investments, are studied. T

Canada has 400 million ha of forest land. Only 25 million ha (5%) is in private ownership. This private forest land is generally divided in two categories: 450 000 private woodlots covering about 15 million ha in the settled regions of Canada and about 5 million ha in larger blocks owned by pension funds, investors, and forest products companies. The private woodlots are subject to municipal or provincial property taxes. The provinces use several approaches to determine the level of tax to be paid. In some cases, the tax system is used to provide an incentive to manage the land. The property t

Since 1970 at least, the wood production potential of small private forest plots in the region of Konolfingen has not been fully exploited. In the approximately 5800 hectares of forest the present timber stocks are at 580 m3/ha. Similar conditions can be found in many other regions with private forests in Canton Berne. With the concept “Auriga”, which provides funding for mechanization, mobilization and more professionalism, the Forestry Service of Canton Berne has created an instrument which should motivate forest owners to an increased use of their wood.
