文摘

There is increasing concern that a major factor influencing the loss of forestland in Washington State is the lack of successful generational transfer of forest land. The scenario is similar to that experienced by family-owned agricultural farms. Generational transference of family-farm property has been a topic of study in the social sciences for many years, and it is upon this theoretical framework that the discussion of forestland transfer is based. This paper reports research conducted in two counties in western Washington State, USA. There are nine counties along Interstate Highway 5 corridor with private forests that are experiencing major development pressures. Two counties that represent extreme stages of development were selected for intensive study. Based on semi-structured interviews conducted as a part of this study, the potential causes of unsuccessful generational transfer were found to be closely linked to development pressure with the following components: regulatory uncertainty, financial instability, and urban influences. These three elements tended to overlap, and perceptions were embedded within a strong value orientation and sense of place. Value orientations and attachments to place might not always require a linkage to occupations and livelihoods alone. They might also be allied with experiences and the symbolic meanings of a place that facilitate a shared value. Whether these experiences arrive through the growth of the family forest as an occupation or through place attachments nurtured within a family over time, the obstacles to the successful generational transfer of family forests must be considered.
