How do we educate forest owners? Where’s the broken link?

-        They get such varied information – so they are skeptical of advice, and it changes (according to Irina Mancheva)

o   Research to policy broken?

o   Or Research to science communication?

o   Research communicating to agencies, forest consultant (the people who make management plans – usually the forest owner’s o?

o   Science for management…

How do small forest owners make decisions (Eliza's notes)?

# data[].attributes.body
Are small forest owners less interested and more on “the brink” and do not have time to understand natural values? Or do they care more and do better?

-        Study this on a National perspective: North vs. Southern Sweden

-       Forest owners get such varied information, depending on who they talk to – so they are skeptical of advice, partly because the advice changes (according to Irina Mancheva's research, UMU political science)

How can we build resilient rural communities? (Eliza's notes)

How can we build resilient rural communities? (Eliza's notes)

# data[].attributes.body
- Biosphere areas – not using forests as large-scale production forests
- What do rural communities need to be able to get more support to “live off the land” – nature tourism, small-scale forestry, low-intensive management

-        What’s the economics of it?

-        Can we build stronger rural communities?

-        Need to define “less intensive management”

-        Be careful about suggesting alternative markets – e.g. for new birch production.

o   The alternative markets are there and should be used

o   Need to include the industry

o   But the small-scale forest owners are more at the limit and may need help (or are they? which lead to our next question)

-How do we manage for the future taking into account risks?
-Risk that we don't know what future people need in 100 years, that any one production system (CCF vs. Evan-aged) is the "right" one, etc.
-Timber vs. biodiversity vs. recreation
- Economists are key! How can we use to value these things?? Francisco Aguilar Cabezas (economist)
- Cropping systems – efficiencies?
- Some portion may need to be even aged… but having diversity of approaches across the landscape is likely better
- To answer this we would do simulations of the risks – how do you want to manage the risks… as in your retirement portfolio Your risks may change as you get closer to retirement age… (or whatever your goal is)
- How do we create incentives to have different approaches to forestry?
