Abstract: | A forest property represents benefits to the owner, the nature of which varies between resident and non-resident owners. Forest
owners’ associations can be considered as an arrangement to increase the benefit from forest ownership by helping the forest
owner to increase profitability. Thus, it can be assumed that associated forest owners value forest property benefits differently
to non-associated owners. This study examines differences between members and non-members, and residents and non-residents,
with respect to how they value the various forest property benefits. Responses from a landholder survey reveal differences
concerning forestry income, maintaining contact with native locality, and keeping up a tradition in forestry. It is concluded
that a challenge for the associations is to develop the organisation in accordance with the forest owners’ dissimilar property
interests. |
