Russ,
Your point is soooo pertinent. Well-intentioned programs often don't realistically address the nature of the private sector. I think you, Joe, Mike, and other private-sector foresters live with that awareness. Academics and government officials often look past the on-the-ground realities as though they weren't there.

There were some pretty photos. With the average tenancy period for forested property ownership at around 7 years it means that a typical patch of woods could go through fifteen different owners in a hundred years....and all it would take is one of those 15 owners to be short sighted, greedy or finacially stressed to undo every previous tenants efforts.
