SFFI

Roughly a third of all forestland in the U.S. is owned by private individuals or families. America's family forest owners are a diverse mix of people who have many and varied reasons for owning land. They include rugged timber men, country folk, urbanites, farmers, environmentalists, avid hunters, overworked professionals, and a host of others. To help make sense of these differences, the Sustaining Family Forests Initiative has developed a practical set of tools to help conservation and forestry professionals reach these landowners with effective stewardship messages and develop programs that serve the needs and values of the landowners.
