We all play a part, but when the rubber meets the road (or leaf litter), it\u2019s YOU, the individual forest landowners, who care for most of our state\u2019s forested land. At NorthWoods, we\u2019ve known this for years, and the results of our recent Forest Landowner Survey reinforced this. Keep reading to hear some of the insights and statistics from 27 landowners who responded to the survey. (if you would like to participate, the survey is still open!

We know that people are drawn to NorthWoods for many reasons, and although we can\u2019t say for sure that our survey results are representative of everyone in the NEK, we think these results will ring true with many of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After asking for some background information about the forest ownership (acreage, involvement in various programs, etc),

Similar numbers valued forest health and biodiversity. This is no surprise, with national landowner surveys showing similar high levels of interest in wildlife and forest health. Reasons for this interest in wildlife varied, with some landowners describing the value of hunting and harvesting wild game to feed their families, while others found the greatest value in walking, watching, and filming wildlife.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-right:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-padding-left:20px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:66.666666666667%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.88%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-left fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-small-visibility\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"awb-title-spacer fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-small-visibility\"><\/span><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.5;\">Recreation<\/h2><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-right\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recreation was another hot topic among landowners.

inspiring responses. Landowners wrote of the importance of the land to them, as well as the importance of sharing it with younger generations. Many landowners described their connection to the land through their own timber harvesting, trail building, hiking, hunting, snowshoeing, and other activities on their land. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s a tradition to be able to own land. I worked hard to get here and I enjoy walking on and working on my own land\u201d wrote one landowner. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Privacy and open space around homes was a common theme, although most landowners said they enjoy sharing their land with wildlife (\u201cThe best neighbors are animals, when they appear for a visit,\u201d wrote another lifelong Vermonter). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landowners recognized the value of their property as part of a larger forested landscape, as well: one landowner wrote, \u201cI was originally inspired to invest all the money I had in land in the hopes of preventing subdivision\u201d, and another shared, \u201cWe do not really consider ourselves as landowners as much as caretakers, with the reward of seeing the land and wildlife respond to our management efforts\u201d.

When asked about the process of having a forest management plan prepared by a forester, 73% of landowners said that the most useful part of the process was walking their land and\/or talking with a forester. While many landowners found the management plan, maps, and other resources to be useful, this response reinforced what we have heard over the years of offering forestry consulting services, which is that landowners value the time spent in the woods with our forestry staff. And we value it, too. We try to make this a central part of our forestry consulting in every project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope you will continue to share your motivations and interests in owning forestland, and we look forward to walking the woods and working with you!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11
