Landowners' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Aspirations towards Woody Biomass Markets in North Carolina
Shaw, Jasmine; Hazel, Dennis; Bardon, Robert; Jayaratne, K. S. U.
Journal of Extension, v50 n4 Article 4FEA9 Aug 2012
Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners are often not included in discussions of emerging woody biomass markets for energy, yet they will likely be principal suppliers of the resource. Surveys administered to 475 forest landowners before and after an Extension Forestry education program in 10 counties across North Carolina indicated that landowners have low knowledge levels of woody biomass. However, as a result of participating in the training, landowners increased knowledge, had more positive attitudes, and developed aspirations to harvest woody biomass on their land. Extension professionals can use our training model to develop similar woody biomass educational programs.
