Abstract

Summarizes results of a recent inventory of service forester activities in 20 Northeastern States. Each year some 500 local state foresters give one-half million hours of technical assistance and advice about the management of forest resources to nearly 50,000 woodland owners. Yearly on-the-ground help with activities ranging from timber sales to shade tree protection involves more than 2 million acres of nonindustrial private forest.
