Forests on the Edge• Phase I
• Forecasts conversion of private forestland
• By watershed• 2000-2030
• Phase II• Focus on private land
adjacent to national forests
• Published 2007• Statewide Assessment of
Forest Resources• In process• IDL using Phase II methods

Conversion Impacts
• Fragments Private Land & Displaces• Economic contribution• Demand for support services• Habitat for game and non-game species• Access to public land• Water – rural to urban uses• Property tax revenue vs. service costs• Amenities that attracted growth

State Policy Tools
• Common issue in Western States• Market forces drive conversion
• Real estate vs. production land value
• Policy Trends• Market based incentives• Conservation easements – voluntary agreements• Partial funding by state, match to external funds• Revenue source and administration varies
