Forest Service Adds New Online Resource

Brett Butler with the U.S. Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis Family Forest Resource Center would like to announce the launch of a new, on-line data access tool: the National Woodland Owner Survey Table Maker. This tool allows users to generate custom tables based on the 2002-2006 NWOS data. Users can select their state(s) of interest, the variable(s) of interest, and apply an optional size of forest holdings filter. There are over 50 variables that can be summarized including landowners' concerns, demographics, forest holding characteristics, future intentions, leasing, forest management practices, collection of nontimber forest products, owner type, program participation, ownership objectives, and timber harvesting. This tool can be accessed through the NWOS website (http://www.fia.fs.fed.us/nwos) or by clicking the link below.
