Forested Landscapes in Perspective: Prospects and Opportunities for Sustainable Management of America's Nonfederal Forests

---

Forests are an important part of everyday life for most Americans. They
provide timber, soil, wildlife, recreation, beauty, and relief within rural and urban
environments. An issue of increasing concern is the management of forestlands
for diverse objectives, including economic returns, biological and ecological integrity
of forest resources, and quality of life for populations in rural and urban
areas. Thoughtful management of forests is clearly becoming crucial to achieving
multifaceted goals and ensuring a productive future for forests.

Traditionally, forestlands in the United States have been categorized as forests
owned by the government (public) and forests that are privately owned. The focus
of this report is nonfederal forests, or those forests owned by industrial private
landowners, nonindustrial private landowners, Native Americans, and state and
locally owned forestlands. The issues addressed in this report are primarily those of
private forests and private forestland owners, with special attention to nonindustrial
private forests and nonindustrial private forestland owners.

At the request of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Forest Service,
the National Research Council’s Board on Agriculture convened a 14-
member Committee on Prospects and Opportunities for Sustainable Management
of America’s Nonfederal Forests to assess the status of the nation’s nonfederal
forests and to examine the role of the federal government in contributing to
sustainable management of nonfederal forestlands. This study responds to the
recognized need for evaluating the current programs and policies directed toward
the nation’s nonfederal forests and integrates information on the management
and use of nonfederal forests while accounting for trends in ownership, location,
composition, and condition of forestlands.
