摘要

Ecological forestry seeks to sustain the diverse forest benefits we rely on via a combination of active forest management (AFM) and passive forest management (PFM) approaches across the landscape. Despite the importance of both AFM and PFM and the prevalence of family forest ownerships in the US, little is known about family forest owner attitudes toward PFM. We surveyed New England FFOs to investigate PFM interest and tool preference for adopting PFM. Over one-third of respondents would adopt PFM on their land; of these, significantly more were willing to adopt PFM on only some of their land rather than all of their land. A temporary property tax reduction program was the most popular policy tool, though different ownership characteristics were associated with increased adoption of the other policy tools tested. Foresters could play a key role in siting and monitoring PFM on family forest lands within ecological forestry.
