The effect of trends in forest and ownership characteristics on recreational use of private forests

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Probit analysis was used to estimate correlations between recreational use of private woodland and forest, owner, and surrounding community characteristics. Land held by more highly educated owners or those reared in large cities was more likely to be used for recreation, while the opposite was true for land held by older owners.
