Abstract

Intensified use of California's hardwood lands is evolving rapidly. With these changes come clashes over the appropriateness of various land uses and, in some cases, regulatory efforts to control some of these activities. The legal environment facing hardwood landowners is a confusing mix of state, Federal, and local measures. This paper first describes and compares the legal environments facing hardwood land owners as defined by Federal, state and local policies, and secondly identifies some of the causal factors that have contributed to the current legal environment, particularly at the local level.
