Working Paper: Economic Impacts of the Forests and Fish Rules on Small, NIPF Landowners (Ten Western Washington Case Studies). Revise in July 2003 by Kevin Zobrist.

The purpose of this study is to examine the economic impacts of Washington's FFR on small forest landowners through a series of case studies. The preliminary results of three Western Washington case studies have been presented in Zobrist and Lippke (2003). This paper presents the final results of these three case studies and seven additional Western Washington case studies. A companion study for Eastern Washington is also available (Oneil 2003).

"The Research University and the Future of Our State"
Annual Report 2002

The article, Digital Forest, ties the work of RTI with the small forest landowner using a specific example from Eastern Washington. Check it out.
