Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Vermont Use Value Appraisal (UVA) Forest Land Program, enrolled forest lands are taxed at their forest use value rather than their fair market value. Technical forestry aspects, including approval of a mandatory management plan, are administered by the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. Our objectives were to use data collected by the Department to estimate the annual timber harvest from lands enrolled in the UVA Tax Program and to explore relationships among management variables and harvest information for individual stands. Overall, 31 percent of UVA properties reported a commercial harvest during 1989. In total, the harvest on enrolled lands represented 18 percent and 24 percent, respectively, of the reported total sawlog and pulpwood-fuelwood harvest in Vermont in 1989, while enrolled lands represented about 16 percent of the total timberland in the State. However, there were no significant relationships among stand and harvest variables that would be useful in predicting harvesting activity. The UVA Tax Program gives the State some influence over forestry activity on privately owned timberland that it did not have prior to the Program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation imposes a burden on all forms of enterprise. The business of growing forests carry a reasonable share of the load. It is widely believed that the existing tax system imposes more than a reasonable share on forestry and discourages the use of private land for this purpose. This report contains the more important results of a Forest Service investigation on this subject. It presents a background of facts about the existing methods of taxation and their relation to forestry. It weighs the effects of taxation on forest management. It develops the principles of sound forest taxation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Bowes and Krutilla bring together what is known and relevant about valuing the nonmarket services of the public forests and propose a new theoretical framework that allows multiple uses, the biological dynamics of the forest, and the institutional and economic realities of public forest management to be taken into account in forest planning and budgeting. The authors begin by tracing the development of multiple use in forest management and by exploring the multiple uses of the public forests and the economics of multiple-use forestry. They offer a masterful analysis of the nineteenth-century model of the single timber stand on which much forestry practice has been premised. Bowes and Krutilla then take a giant step forward by developing a larger theoretical framework and showing how forest structure and dynamics can be included in the economic model. The authors' rigorous exposition theory provides the foundation for analyzing case studies of management for timber and water yields in the Rockies, of recreation valuation in the Black Hills and White Mountain national forests, and of joint production in the White Clouds Peaks --- analyses that demonstrate the authors' great skill in developing practical methodologies to meet actual forest management problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2Vermonts Use Value Appraisal (UVA) property tax program was designed to slow the rate of development of rural land, encourage prediction from agricultural and forest lands, and conserve and preserve a working rural landscape by making taxation of underdeveloped land more equitable. In 1987, more than 669,000 acres were enrolled in the UVA Forest Land Program, 18 percent of the potentially eligible forest land. Forest inventory statistics were produced for these lands using data collected in the fourth forest survey of Vermont. UVA forest land comprises slightly more than a billion cubic feet of growing stock, including 2.2 million board feet of sawtimber. Forest inventory data indicate that timberland in the UVA program mirrors Vermont timberland in general. It does not appear that a disproportionate amount of poor sites or good sites are enrolled. Nor does the quantity or quality of the timber appear to be disproportionately representative. The projected net growth on UVA timberland could supply almost half the annual removals in the State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing about public values, beliefs, and attitudes (VBA) relevant to public land mgmt. is one foundation for understanding the linkages between the needs of nearby communities, and regional and nat. residents. Managers aware of the systematic differences in VBA held by the public and stakeholders are in a better position to define resource issues, develop alternative ways of addressing them, assess their social and cultural impacts, identify acceptable mgmt. measures, and monitor the results. This guide is designed to acquaint Forest Service staff with the concepts of VBA; to demonstrate ways in which VBA and assoc, concepts can be measured; and to suggest methods for applying VBA info. to decisions about projects and plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper identifies the essential features of the forestry economics literature emphasizing what is different about forestry and what are forestry's important features for project and program analysis. The important conclusion, is that economic tools are both available and appropriate for the analysis of a wide range of forest policy problems. The report is divided into two parts. The characteristics that received special attention in the first part are the embodiment of both productive capital and final output in any standing forest inventory, and the long time periods that often distinguish forest production. A third distinguishing characteristics is the joint production nature of many forest resource services. The second part of the paper visits seven special topics that are important to forestry and economic development: (1) timber production; (2) smallholder forest management; (3) forestry research, education, and extension; (4) tenure; (5) policy spillovers from other sectors of the economy that can substantially alter forests and forestland management; (6) non-timber multiple use values; and (7) deforestation, timber famine or its counter, sustainable forest management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2This paper is an attempt to trace the usefulness and limitations of economic analysis as a guide to timber management. It builds upon an earlier analysis of major timber-management opportunities in Pennsylvania (Webster 1960), applying the results to a particular area in the state. It attempts to view the analysis through the eyes of a perceptive forest manager, asking where and how this analysis has been useful and where and how has it fallen short. S3.
