Abstract

This report highlights general ownership patterns and key information about private owners of trees, woods, and forests from the 2011-2013 National Woodland Owner Survey, which is conducted by the U.S. Forest Service, to help us better understand: who owns the woods and forests of the United States, why they own it, how they use it now, and how they intend to use it.
