This book describes the changing landscape of European forest
ownership and explores the impact a new, often urban, generation of
forest owners may have on the future of one of our most basic
resources - forests. Forests have not played a major role in rural
studies thus far, however they constitute an important part of many
rural areas. Drawing on Swedish cases and comparison cases from
various other areas of Europe, the authors present these 'new
forest owners' as a pivotal factor in the changing relationships
between urban and rural life. The chapters explore how forest
production, the relationship to the environment, urban-rural
relations and local communities have already changed as well as
discussing what might be expected for the future. A result of work
in the Swedish research programme PLURAL and related projects, such
as the EU Cost Action FACESMAP, this volume will be of interest to
scholars of forestry and rural studies, as well as to researchers
in environmental, population and globalization studies more
broadly.
