In recent years, some economists and journalists have argued that since only 7% of Canadian forests are under private ownership, Canadian public forests should be sold to private companies. In this paper, I examine and analyze global forest ownership and recent trends in the change in forest land ownership. In Canada, 26.5 million ha of forest land are under private ownership, while the area of forest land (of each country) of more than 200 countries, including Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, Japan, and New Zealand, is less than the area of Canada’s private forest land. Similarly, the forest industry in Canada owns more forest land available for wood supply than the forest industry in any other developed country except the USA and Sweden. There is no direct relationship between private forest ownership and the economic performance of forest industry in a country. I examine 3 cases of change in forest land ownership: Timber Investment Management Organizations and Real Estate Investment Trusts in the USA, restitution of forest land in economies in transition, and sale of plantations in Chile. None of the cases provide economic evidence in support of sale of Canadian public forests. I conclude that the sale of the Crown forest land will not only be environmentally, socially, and politically unacceptable, but will not be economically viable. Key words: Canada, economic performance, forest ownership, forest tenure, privatization, restitution of forest land, timber investment management organizations, wood supply

Tenure System

The forest products industry is in a period of profound transition. Several provinces are reviewing forest land tenure systems. Perhaps a new approach can be tried, but we must not forget the lessons of the past 30 years during which the delivery of forest management has improved based on clear lines of responsibility and accountability. A leasehold tenure system based on contract law providing security of tenure and designed to accommodate both SFM Certification and Forest Carbon Projects might be worth consideration.

Private forest farming has been a new source of family income for farmers in the Ciamis District. However, it has not been could to fully support the living needs of farmer families. Therefore, a strategy is needed to increase the productivity of private forest lands wich can meet the short-term and long-term needs of farmers. This study aims to identify the superior commodity types of empon-empon wich has the potential to increase the productivity of community forest lands. The study desk method was used in this research by utilizing statistical data on the production of biopharma plants in Ciamis Regency and West Java Province. To find out the superior commodities, a Location Quotient analysis approach was used. There were six types of empon-empon that have been cultivated in Ciamis Regency, including Zingiber officinale, Amomum compactum, Kaepferia galanga, Curcuma longa, Alpinia galanga, and Curcuma zanthorrhiza. Amomum compactum types is considered as a potential commodity to be developed on private forest land because it has a comparative advantage with LQ value>1.

Nipf Landowners

Forest landowner activities change over the lifespan of the forest and ownership cycle. Patterns of change emerge which suggest the evolving nature of forest landownership and Non-industrial Private Forest (NIPF) landowners’ interest in their land. The objective of this study was to examine trends in NIPF landowners’ distribution of forestry expenses in their management activities over time. First, 2010 Mississippi NIPF landowners were randomly selected from a property tax roll list. Our analysis compared study results of Arano et al. (2002) with a 2016 survey that was conducted by the authors of this paper. Both studies drew on assessments of timber management expenditures that were conducted on behalf of a state government department of revenue to determine ad valorem taxes for forest land. As such, both studies contained similar survey questions with 12 forestry-related activities grouped into four major categories: (1) Fees for Professional Services (e.g., consulting foresters, surveyors), (2) Timber Management Expenditures (e.g., site preparation, planting), (3) Other Management Expenditures (e.g., road construction), and (4) Property Taxes. Like the 2002 article, results here are presented as descriptive statistics. In both survey cycles, Timber Management Expenditures represented the largest component of annual expenditures in both the 1990s and 2015. The largest decrease in reported expenditures occurred for Other Management Expenditures. By broadly describing differences in expenditures over time, this study provides insights into the involvement of NIPF landowners in management activities on forest land such as reforestation after final harvest, thinning, and timber stand improvement, which can impact forest products’ supply over time.

In Lithuania, forests are managed by Lithuanian State Forest Enterprise, municipalities, ministries, etc. and private forest owners. About 50% of all forest land is State importance, privately owned forests cover 40% of forest land, and about 10% of forest land belongs to forests reserved for restitution. Forest management of private ownership force many challenges, because private forest owners are people, who have purchased or received the property after restitution, and often lacks knowledge about forest resources, its dynamics and sustainable forest management. As remote sensing is a valuable source for forest monitoring, because it provides periodic data on forest resource and condition status, these methods are gaining increased attention worldwide. In this context, more scientific efforts are made at developing remote sensing derived geo-spatial data services for sustainable forest management through a web service platform, which would integrate geo-information into daily decision making processes and operation for private forest owners. This article presents a review of privately owned forests’ statistics, questionnaire-based survey about GIS usage and demand for forest owners in Lithuania and links available sources of open geo-spatial data useful for sustainable forest management.
