Hello,
I am looking for some starter data about the usefulness CBSM and steweardship of privately owned woodlots. In my research, I haven't been able to find any instances where it has been used, or even examined as a possibility. Any journals or examples I have missed out on? I'd appreciate any pointers.

Hi Sadie --
You might check out this report that I think was recently released prepared by Katie Fernholz and described below: I think she can be reached at the number below if you have questions.

"An Introduction to Social Marketing Potential Applications for Forestry
-- Kathryn Fernholz
Human behavior underlies a number of problems, including a number of those related to the environment. From isolated issues such as littering and low rates of recycling to large scale problems involving energy consumption and resource depletion, it is human behavior that must be changed in order to bring about positive change. One of the tools utilized to influence behavior and encourage more responsible behavior is social marketing. Broadly defined, social marketing is the practice of applying traditional, commercial marketing techniques with the goal of influencing the behavior of the target audience. Most commonly, the intent is to achieve a positive social impact. This report provides an introduction to the concept and practices of social marketing and the tools of community-based social marketing. To date, there has been scant use of social marketing for the purpose of influencing forestry-related behaviors, although potential benefits from broader use of this approach are now recognized. Perhaps the greatest opportunity for successfully applying social marketing techniques to forestry may be related to engaging family forest owners in behaviors that support improved forest management. Given that there are a variety of human behaviors impacting the success of sustainable forestry initiatives, social marketing may be an important tool for influencing these behaviors to achieve positive change."

Hi All,
There may be some information with the Ontario Forestry Association, the Ontario Woodlot Owners Association and the Trees Ontario Foundation. Several of the Ontario Stewardship Councils in partnership with the OFA are encouraging the landowners to participate Managed Forest Tax Rebate System. Click on the web link under my email signature and look under the resources/tools tabs to find links to MFTIP. Some areas of Ontario are heavily subscribed into the program, which results in managed private forests that have benefit to all of us, and offer an incentive to the landowners in terms of lower taxes on that portion of their property in the program. I know of multiple landowners working in a cooperative fashion over 1'000s of hectares, thereby reducing their individual costs. I pass on some more detailed information as I received it from my co-workers.
