Abstract

This rapport is about how often private forest owners follow the measures proposed in their forest management plan. The survey is made in cooperation with the forest-owners association Norrskog.
The private forest owners are relatively satisfied with the forest management plans and with the measures proposed. There are some differences between those who live on or near their property and those who live many miles away.
The forest owners who live on their property are those who follow the proposed measure of precommercial thinning to the largest extent. That group also values precommercially thinned stands higher than thinned stands.
The complete opposite is the case for the group that lives far away from their property.
Almost all of the respondents thought that the forest management plan would be or had been a good help in the decision making about the forest.
