Abstract

This survey has been made in Kalmar county concerning forest management plans. The survey has been done to see what private forest owners think of their forest management plans and what they think about forest management plans in general. The survey was conducted in cooperation with LRF Konsult.

The average size of private owned forest properties in this surveys larger than the average in Sweden. The average property for the respondents is more than 100 hectares. The goal of forest ownership varied very much. Income of timber was valued highest while hunting and wildlife management was ranked lowest by the forest owners.
Overall, forest owners were satisfied with their forest management plans. 85 percent responded that they were satisfied with their forest management plans. It was 82 percent of forest owners who had a current forest management plan. For owners who did not have a current forest management plan was the most common reason that they had ordered a new but have not received it yet.
