Private Landowners Surveycontributed by |
|||
We are MBA stubents at Colorado State University working on a business plan to fulfill or requirements for a degree. We have decided to build a plan to create a business based on unique ways to utilize Colorado wood. At this point in our research we are trying to gather concrete data on private landowners living in the wildland-urban interface and more rural areas! As you have connections and access to private landowners would you mind sharing the link to our survey with them so we can measure their answers and determine which business model to pursue this fall? We are looking for general information and will keep all responses confidential. Thanks in advance. We greatly appreciate your help and are hopeful that owners will be able to and interested in participating in this research. Thanks so much! Ariel Campos,

Here's How America Uses Its Landcontributed by
|

There are many statistical measures that show how productive the U.S. is. Its economy is the largest in the world and grew at a rate of 4.1 percent last quarter, its fastest pace since 2014. The unemployment rate is near the lowest mark in a half century. What can be harder to decipher is how Americans use their land to create wealth. The 48 contiguous states alone are a 1.9 billion-acre jigsaw puzzle of cities, farms, forests and pastures that Americans use to feed themselves, power their economy and extract value for business and pleasure.

Wooden tires don't have the best ring to them, but Michelin firmly believes they'll be a reality in 2020. The French tire maker told Motoring in a report published this month of its plans to introduce wood into tires, and it's all about moving away from oil.

Attached is a news release announcing that all this month the Colorado State Forest Service will be accepting Forest Legacy Program proposals from Colorado landowners. The program provides a means for private landowners to protect environmentally valuable forest areas that could someday be threatened by development or conversion to other non-forest uses, via the CSFS purchasing permanent conservation easements. The application deadline is August 31. Please contact me with any questions.
