Factors Influencing Landowner Interest in Managing Wildlife and Avian Habitat on Private Forestland

Factors Influencing Landowner Interest in Managing Wildlife and Avian Habitat on Private Forestland This study examined factors related to private forest landowners' interest in managing wildlife and avian habitat on their land. Regression analysis of survey responses from Tennessee Cumberland Plateau landowners indicated that their interests were influenced by demographic factors (e.g., age) and forestland ownership characteristics (e.g., length of land tenure, ownership size). Landowners who had previously enrolled in a government cost-share program or received professional forest management advice were more likely to consider wildlife and avian habitat in their forest management decisions. Findings support extending government efforts to restore and protect wildlife and avian habitat outside protected areas and work toward achieving landscape scale conservation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Human Dimensions of Wildlife Taylor & Francis

Abstract

This study examined factors related to private forest landowners' interest in managing wildlife and avian habitat on their land. Regression analysis of survey responses from Tennessee Cumberland Plateau landowners indicated that their interests were influenced by demographic factors (e.g., age) and forestland ownership characteristics (e.g., length of land tenure, ownership size). Landowners who had previously enrolled in a government cost-share program or received professional forest management advice were more likely to consider wildlife and avian habitat in their forest management decisions. Findings support extending government efforts to restore and protect wildlife and avian habitat outside protected areas and work toward achieving landscape scale conservation.
