Participate in the 2022 Costs and Trends of
Southern Forestry Practices Survey


The best decisions are often informed decisions and in a time of limitless information on almost any subject, the cost of basic forest management practices remains somewhat of a mystery.  Since 1950 the Costs and Trends of Southern Forestry Practices survey has provided valuable information to help forest landowners make informed decisions on their property. We have a chance to make the survey even more valuable by increasing participation.

If you own forestland in southern states (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, MO, NC, OK, SC, TN, TX, VA), please help us improve information for forest landowners by participating in the 2022 Costs and Trends of Southern Forestry Practices Survey.

2022 Costs and Trends of Southern Forestry Practices Information:

This questionnaire is used not only to better understand the cost of current forestry practices but also as a long-term study about how costs and management practices have changed over time and what influenced those changes. The responses from this survey are important in shaping the narrative of forestry practices in the south and influencing policy decisions that affect private forest landowners. However, this questionnaire, which has been historically distributed via paper mail, has seen decreased participation in recent years.

To streamline this process and increase participation, the format for the 2022 questionnaire provides: 

    •    Easy to use, web-based format

    •    Breakdown of each table into separate, more easily digestible questions

    •    Questions that include example text to streamline user answers

    •    The opportunity to skip certain sections if they are not applicable to the user, which will minimize the time and effort that the original version required
