Abstract

This report is intended to support the ongoing pine barrens restoration on work in the Lakewood-Laona Ranger District on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (CNNF). The report provides the results from 2016 surveys and focus groups examining landowner and visitor attitudes toward forest management treatments, communication, and restoration project outcomes; their forest values; their levels of trust in the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) and local agency personnel; and potential impacts of restoration on the recreational, aesthetic, and social dynamics of nearby communities.
