Dear Public Land Manager :
Several weeks ago we sent you a questionnaire inviting you to
participate in the National Public Forest Land Survey. You may have
intended to complete the questionnaire but perhaps misplaced it or
simply forget about it.
If you have already completed the
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. On average, the survey takes 15 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 land managers like yourself.
If your agency does not currently manage land, respond to this email
saying “No Land.”
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 Public Forest Land Survey,
160 Holdsworth Way, Amherst MA 01003.

Brett J. Butler, Survey Director
