Landowners value and care for their forests for reasons that include improved wildlife habitat, aesthetics, recreation, and timber. In Washington, 15% of forested lands are owned by small forest landowners (2-2500 acres).

Agriculture isn’t just a job for University of Massachusetts Extension Vegetable Specialist, Katie Campbell-Nelson, it’s a part of who she is.
