Stand development prediction accuracy of two individual-tree statistical growth models for the Acadian forest region: FVS-ACD and OSM-ACD
Problem Addressed: Comparison and benchmarking of two contrasting yet widely used growth models in the region
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Assess the performance of growth models across varying standing conditions
Key Findings: Both growth models performed reasonably with distinct strengths and limiations
Recommendation: Continued refinement of both growth models is needed, particularly for mortality and ingrowth

Timber Harvest and Recreation in Maine’s North Woods: Attitudes, Impacts, and Strategies for Coexistence
Problem Addressed: Rural Maine communities are trying to diversify their economies using recreation tourism, but there is a perceived conflict between tourism and the forest products industry.
Goal(s)/Objective(s): What are recreationists' attitudes toward logging, how does this affect recreation spending, and does education change these attitudes?
Key Findings: Some recreationists are more bothered by logging than others, logging may have a large effect on tourist spending, and education showed no effect on attitudes.
Recommendation: Areas without logging evidence are important if communities want to successfully attract tourist spending.
