Informing Landowner Decisions.
We are in the midst of the biggest intergenerational shift of land that our country has ever seen. Nationally, roughly 2.7 million family forest owners who are over fifty-five years old and reflect 80% of all family forest owned land will soon be deciding the future ownership and use of their land. In fact, almost one third of landowners in the Northeast report that they will be making decisions about their land's future ownership and use in the next five years. The result of these decisions (or non-decisions) will determine whether the land is developed, parcelized, conserved, or unchanged.
