A tectonic shift in land ownership by the forest products industry has transformed private forestland across the United States. Previous research has focused primarily on documenting the total extent of land transfers from vertically integrated forest products companies to new owners, especially corporate investors in the form of timberland investment management organizations (TIMOs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The primary goal of this research was to determine how the new owners of former industrial forestland have altered the distribution and functions of Wisconsin's working forests. I drew on several complementary methodologies, beginning with stakeholder interviews and document analysis to determine the motivations of land owners and managers through profiles of the state's largest private ownerships. I then explored the location-specific predictors of land sales, parcelization, and conservation easements using a quantitative analysis of data from a statewide conservation program with ownership change information assembled from public, corporate, and archival sources. Finally, I combined this extensive ownership dataset with records of timber product harvesting in a fixed effects model to analyze the effects of ownership type and change on timber harvesting while accounting for property location, conservation easement status, and annual variation. The result is an in-depth study that documents the transition of industrial forest ownership in a state where private forestland is embedded in a complex landscape of control, use, and production.

520 $a A tectonic shift in land ownership by the forest products industry has transformed private forestland across the United States. Previous research has focused primarily on documenting the total extent of land transfers from vertically integrated forest products companies to new owners, especially corporate investors in the form of timberland investment management organizations (TIMOs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

520 $a Wisconsin's private forests are critical resources for a wide range of residents, recreationists, and local economies. Investor owners have maintained open access to nearly all of their properties, and guaranteed access to a significant portion through permanent conservation easements. However, they have also sold a substantial amount of property to private owners, especially smaller properties with greater development and residential value. Remaining large ownerships have condensed into a smaller set of the most productive forestland holdings. Timber harvesting practices on these properties have been reduced and shifted towards uneven-aged management strategies. I use the results of these three studies to draw conclusions about the role of forest stakeholders at different scales, the interactions of forest conservation strategies, and the importance of private forest monitoring and reporting.
