The forested land in the United States is an asset that is owned
and managed not only by federal, state, and local governments, but
also by families and other private groups, including timber
investment management organizations and real estate investment
trusts. The more than 10 million family forestland owners manage
the largest percentage of forestland acreage (35 percent) and the
majority of the privately owned forestland (62 percent). The Forest
Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, which is
responsible for the stewardship of all of the nation's forests, has
long worked with private owners of forestland on forest management
and preservation. At a time when all forestland is facing
intensified threats because of the long-term effects of global
climate change, the Forest Service recognizes that family
forestland owners play a key role in protecting forestland. It is
working to identify optimal ways to engage this diverse group and
support them in mitigating threats to the biologically diverse land
they own or manage. Climate Change Education: Engaging Family
Private Forest Owners on Issues Related to Climate Change is the
summary of a workshop, convened by the National Research Council's
Board on Science Education and Board on Environmental Change and
Society as part of its Climate Change Education Roundtable series,
to explore approaches to the challenges that face state foresters,
extension agents, private forestry consultants, and others involved
with private family forestland owners on how to take climate change
into consideration when making decisions about their forests. The
workshop focused on how findings from the behavioral, social, and
educational sciences can be used to help prepare for the impacts of
climate change. The workshop participants discussed the threats to
forests posed by climate change and human actions; private
forestland owners' values, knowledge, and dispositions about forest
management, climate change, and related threats; and strategies for
improving communication between forestland owners and service
providers about forest management in the face of climate change.
