Dear Property Owner:
Several weeks ago we sent you a questionnaire inviting you to
participate in the National Property Owner Tree Survey. You may have
intended to complete the questionnaire but perhaps misplaced it or
simply forget about it. If you have already returned the completed
questionnaire, we apologize for contacting you again, sincerely thank
you for your participation, and ask that you disregard this mailing.
However, if you have not returned your questionnaire, we ask you to
consider doing so now. For your convenience we have enclosed
another copy of the questionnaire and postage-paid return envelope.
On average, the survey takes 25 minutes to complete.
Your participation is voluntary, but because of the limited number of
landowners asked to participate in the survey, your answers are
especially important. This survey is conducted once every 5 years. If
you responded during the last cycle, we ask that you respond again.
Your responses will be kept strictly confidential, and will be combined
with those of others. The results will be used by policy makers, land
managers, and public and private service providers to better understand
and address issues that are important to landowners like yourself.
If you do not currently own residential property, please return the
questionnaire using the postage-paid return envelope and write on the
cover “No Residential Property Owned.”
If you have questions regarding the survey, please call us toll-free at
1-855-233-3372, visit our website at www.fia.fs.fed.us/nlos, or write us
at USDA Forest Service, National Property Owner Tree Survey,
160 Holdsworth Way, Amherst MA 01003.
