THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF ENABLING DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING FOR SMALL FOREST PRODUCERS IS TO PROMOTE INNOVATIVE FOREST MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES THAT IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF FOREST ECOSYSTEMS WHILE INCREASING ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND RESILIENCE FOR LANDOWNERS AND COMMUNITIES. THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS A SIGNIFICANT GAP IN INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO SMALL PRODUCERS: FINANCIAL RESULTS FROM RESTORATION THINNING PROJECTS THAT ENHANCE FOREST HEALTH. WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION, LANDOWNERS FACE HIGHER RISKS AND GREATER DIFFICULTY MAKING INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR FOREST. OUR PROJECT WILL PROVIDE ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION VIA AN INNOVATIVE NEW ON-LINE DATABASE OF THINNING PROJECT RESULTS, AS WELL AS EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH THROUGH WORKSHOPS AND SITE VISITS. THIS PROJECT WILL EMPOWER SMALL PRODUCERS TO INTENTIONALLY SHIFT TO ACTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION METHODS (E.G., RESTORATION THINNING) AND ACHIEVE IMPROVED LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES.
