Dear Landowner:
We invite you to participate in the National Corporate Forest Owner
Survey conducted by the U.S. Forest Service. Your participation will
help policy makers, land managers, and public and private service
providers better understand and address the needs and concerns of
America’s corporate landowners.
We are interested in hearing from you. You were identified as a
corporate landowner from public ownership records.
We are
contacting only a few owners in each state. Because of the limited
number of owners contacted, your answers are especially important.
This survey is conducted once every 5 years to understand new topics
and changes over time. If you responded during the last cycle, we ask
that you respond again.
This is an official U.S. Forest Service survey, but your participation is
voluntary. Your answers will be confidential and will be combined
with others. The results will only be used to determine patterns and
trends. Completing the questionnaire takes, on average, 30 minutes.
If your company does not currently own land, respond to this email
saying “No Land Owned.”
If you would like to receive a copy of the results from this survey,
please respond to this email with your name and address.
We greatly appreciate your valuable assistance. If you have any
questions 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
Corporate Forest Owner Survey, 160 Holdsworth Way, Amherst MA
01003.
