Woodland Owner Survey |

|
Since 96% of Kansas forestland is privately owned it is important for
the Kansas Forest Service to understand woodland owners to help them
effectively manage their forest resources. In response, starting in 2002, the National Woodland Owner Survey began contacting a percentage of Kansas woodland owners to collect information about management objectives, demographics, marketing of forest products, participation in government incentives programs, how actively landowners manage their woodlands, and their perceptions of their woodland’s condition. This information will help the Kansas Forest Service and the USDA Forest Service better understand, and thus, better serve the forest and landowners of Kansas. It will be several years before enough data is collected to provide a good statistical sample for Kansas. In the meantime, additional information about the National Woodland Owner Survey may be found at the North Central Research Station National Woodland Owner Survey webpage. Additionally, the USDA Forest Service published a 1994 Report PDF, with goals similar to the National Woodland Owner Survey. |
