a b s t r a c tIn the United States, 35% of the forestland is owned by family forest owners with approximately 0.2% of this land reported to be enrolled in a forest certification system. The current study was conducted to provide insights into factors influencing family forest owners' decisions to certify their lands. The bivariate probit model with sample selection results suggests that receiving professional advice regarding the forestlands and having a written management or stewardship plan had the highest positive marginal effects on awareness of certification programs and participation in these programs. Non-timber objectives had negative marginal effects on awareness of certification programs.

“…For example, Rodríguez and Marey (2008) found that 55% of the 103 Galician forest owners surveyed had sold timber in a 5-year reference period. In Finland, almost three-quarters of Finnish family forest owners surveyed had sold timber at least once in a 7-year reference period (Hujala et al, 2009). In contrast, Forest Policy andEconomics 12 (2010) 513-517 Leatherberry (2004) found that only one-quarter of private forest owners surveyed in Eastern USA had actually harvested timber for sawlog or pulp.…”

Since then the applications have been on rise, not least in Scandinavia (Hujala et al 2007;Hujala & Tikkanen 2008;Hokajärvi et al 2009;Hujala et al 2009;Urquhart et al 2010;Bengston et al 2011;Lähdesmäki & Matilainen 2014). These studies applied qualitative methods to depict PFO goals, motivations, problems, and practices of forest management.…”

A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 AcknowledgementsThis study was performed within the frames of the research program INTEGRAL -futureoriented integrated forest management of European forests, funded by the European Commission's 7 th framework programme, grant agreement n° FP7-282887. AbstractIn contrast to quantitative surveys up to date, this study employs in-depth interviews and qualitative analyses aiming to provide detailed contextualized portrayals of private forest owners (PFO) in Lithuania, where forest ownership underwent crucial changes in the last two decades. We scrutinized narrations of 18 owners, focusing on the background and goals of forest possession, actually applied management practices and informants' future plans. Content analysis of the narrations revealed three classes of goals: ideational rationale, i.e. immaterial justification for owning and managing forest; financial goals referring to monetary benefits from selling forest products; and own material use for household needs. Reported practices differ widely among PFO, ranging from largely absent management to intensive silvicultural regimes. Syntheses of each informant's goals and practices enabled discerning four PFO types. Forest Businessmen typically own largest estates (>100 ha) and regard forest as an investment to get long-term financial benefits; they resort to forest management for timber and often intend to enlarge their possessions. Household Foresters primarily use timber for own needs, regularly applying selective tree cutting; such forestry results in frequent but small-scale management interventions. Passive Forest Lovers aspire to recreational or environmental values, being largely uninterested in timber harvesting. Ad Hoc Owners usually are small-scale, have vague goals and rarely engage in forest management. The study concludes with discussing policy implications of the identified diversity of PFO.
