The Federal Forest Stewardship Program and its Implications for Sustainable Forestry on Private Forest Ownerships in the United States

A 72 percent response rate was achieved in 1998 and 1999 national survey of 1,238 participants in the USDA Forest Service's Forest Stewardship Program, under which 130,000 individual multiple resource plans encompassing 16.5 million acres (6.5 million ha) of privately owned forest lands in the United States had been completed. Objectives were to determine if the plans were meeting the needs of private landowners and promoting long term sustainable management to meet public needs for wood products and other benefits. We found a very high rate of plan implementation and a high level of satisfaction with the quality of plans.
