Raise your hand if you…• Are concerned about fragmentation of
forests?
• Are seeing different types of landowners moving out to more rural areas?
• Are concerned about fire risk to people and their property?
• Are seeing urbanization growing into previously rural areas?
• Are tired of landowners not listening to your advice?

Not just fire!

![Page 45: Changing Roles: WUI Professional Development Program - An Overview Paul Gellerstedt & Leslie Moorman N.C. Division of Forest Resources June 3, 2010 Powerpoint](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e6c5503460f94b6b49c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Why Forest Cooperatives?
• Small acreage, family forest landowners are more common
• Help landowners manage effectively for multiple objectives
• Help keep land in forestry• Makes forest operations more profitable
and sometimes more sustainable• Can help reduce WUI issues
