Abstract
Recognizing the involvement of various stakeholders in managing pests, diseases, and forest disturbances is critical for managing forest health. Although there has been substantial focus on the biological and ecological aspects of forest health in the peer-reviewed literature, there is a significant gap in understanding the human dimensions of forest health, especially from the perspective of foresters and loggers. These two groups—foresters, who write silvicultural prescriptions, and loggers, who implement them—are vital but understudied participants.
