“…12 Oak-hickory is the dominant forest type throughout much of the state, with mixed hardwoods also being quite prevalent. 8 Chemical and allied products are the leading manufacturing industries in West Virginia. 13 The state has also been one of the leading producers of bituminous coal since 1931.…”

“…It is the culmination of the first complete inventory of West Virginia's forests using FIA's annualized forest inventory system. Previous inventories of West Virginia's forest resources were completed in 1949, 1961, 1975, 1989(Wray 1952, Ferguson 1964, Bones 1978, DiGiovanni 1990, and Griffith and Widmann 2003 and were collected under a different inventory system in which states were inventoried periodically with no measurements made between inventories. The annualized system was implemented to provide updated forest inventory information every year based on a 5-to 7-year cycle.…”

The first full annual inventory of West Virginia's forests reports 12.0 million acres of forest land or 78 percent of the State's land area. The area of forest land has changed little since 2000. Of this land, 7.2 million acres (60 percent) are held by family forest owners. The current growing-stock inventory is 25 billion cubic feet-12 percent more than in 2000-and averages 2,136 cubic feet per acre. Yellow-poplar continues to lead in volume followed by white and chestnut oaks. Since 2000, the saw log portion of growing-stock volume has increased by 23 percent to 88 billion board feet. In the latest inventory, net growth exceeded removals for all major species. Detailed information on forest inventory methods and data quality estimates is included in a DVD at the back of this report. Tables of population estimates and a glossary are also included. AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank West Virginia's inventory crew members over the 2004-2008 inventory cycle:

“…The state was first divided into three regional strata (northeastern, southern and northwestern) based on USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Regional Assessment (DiGiovanni, 1990). This was done to determine regional differences in landowner characteristics.…”

“…The number of owners to sample was based on the total amount of forest acres owned by farmers and individuals in each region, which are common NIPF characteristics (Birch, 1996). Next, the number of landowners to sample by cover type in each region depended on how many counties were 80+% or 60-79% in forest cover (DiGiovanni, 1990). As for example, if a region had seven 80+% counties and nine counties 60-79% in forest cover more NIPF owners would be selected from the 60-79% counties.…”

Assessing West Virginia NIPF owner characteristics and preferred assistance topics

Four hundred and fifty-one Non-Industrial-Private-Forest (NIPF) owners (49% response rate) in West Virginia responded to a survey of their forestry assistance needs. Most of the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents, their reasons for owning the property, the types of activities they were engaged in on the property and the agencies that provided assistance by themselves significantly (Chi 2 & ANOVA) differentiated those interested and not interested in obtaining assistance. However, when all 39 factors were considered together (Logistic Regression) only a small number of these factors were needed to explain the difference between landowners wanting and not wanting a specific assistance topic. Landowner income and tenure were recurrent factors in the logistic analysis. Results of the study can be used to target landowners for specific topics as well as gear workshops or programs that reflect the property uses and activities conducted by these landowners within their property.
