Dear Landowner:
Several weeks ago we sent you a questionnaire inviting you to
participate in the National Woodland Owner Survey. You may have
intended to complete the questionnaire but perhaps misplaced it or
simply forget about it. If you have already returned the completed
questionnaire, we apologize for contacting you again, sincerely thank
you for your participation, and ask that you disregard this mailing.
However, if you have not returned your questionnaire, we ask you to
consider doing so now. For your convenience we have enclosed
another copy of the questionnaire and postage-paid return envelope.
On average, the survey takes 25 minutes to complete.
Your participation is voluntary, but because of the limited number of
landowners asked to participate in the survey, your answers are
especially important. This survey is conducted once every 5 years. If
you responded during the last cycle, we ask that you respond again.
Your responses will be kept strictly confidential, and will be combined
with those of others. The results will be used by policy makers, land
managers, and public and private service providers to better understand
and address issues that are important to landowners like yourself.
If you do not currently own land, please return the questionnaire using
the postage-paid return envelope and write on the cover “No Land
Owned.”
If you have questions regarding the survey, please call us toll-free at
1-855-233-3372, visit our website at www.fia.fs.fed.us/nlos, or write us
at USDA Forest Service, National Woodland Owner Survey,
160 Holdsworth Way, Amherst MA 01003.
