Pennsylvania Forest Stewards Survey Results
In 2007 another edition of the biennial survey will be undertaken for the entire volunteer group. The new 2005 volunteers will be surveyed in 2006 to determine how things went their first year in the program. Watch for the surveys in your mailbox in the fall. Please fill them out to help us learn how you promote forest stewardship in Pennsylvania.
The 2005 edition of the PA Forest Stewards biennial survey shows that PA Forest Stewards volunteers continue to actively promote forest stewardship in their communities. The total number of volunteer hours reported was comparable to the number reported in the 2003 survey (38,111 verusus 38,519) and volunteers reported reaching over 12,400 people.
The most common outreach activity remains talking to neighbors and other woodland owners about forest stewardship. PA Forest Stewards volunteers are active members and supporters of Pennsylvania’s local/regional woodland owner associations: 124 VIP-Coverts were members and 55 served on boards of directors. PA Forest Stewards are actively involved in helping shape decisions in their communities by serving on an array of advisory boards, steering committees, boards of directors, and associations.
