Major issues for forest owners today;
Is any forestry sustainable, if the forest owner is not earning a significant and regular income that rewards their ownership efforts?

Is any forestry sustainable where the typical harvest degrades the forest resource and cheats or short-changes the forest owner?

Can forest owners manage their own business of forestry... or do we need to rely on "professional" foresters to tell us how to manage our woods??

Do we need Government and Charitable Foundation Grants to get forest owners to manage their timber?

Is the forest industry doing OK?....  or....  Must we create our own producer controlled timber market?

Will forest owners ever really work together for the benefit of our natural resources?  Every attempt to organize landowners has been taken over by Government and University and Industry influence and money.  (My opinion only, of course)
