"Understanding and Researching Family Forest Owners: Lessons from Social Marketing Research"
Brett Butler has worked for the USDA Forest Service since 1998. In 2000, he joined the Forest Inventory and Analysis program at the Northern Research Station where he directs the Family Forest Research Center (FFRC), coordinates the National Woodland Owner Survey (NWOS), and analyzes forest resources. The FFRC is charged with conducting and coordinating research to increase our understanding of family forest owners' attitudes, behaviors, needs, concerns, and demographics. The NWOS is charged with determining who owns the forests of the U.S., why these people own forests, and what the future of the forests are.
His current research focuses on survey methods for collecting information from private forestland owners, analyzing trends in private forestland owners and the land that they own, and studying the factors that influence decisions made by private landowners.
Butler received a B.S. in Natural Resource Management and Engineering in 1995 from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT and a PhD in Forest Science in 2005 from Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR.
