Private landowners own nearly 60% of the forested land in the U.S., and the decisions made by these landowners overwhelmingly influence the ecological trajectory of our nation's forest resource. Jesse's research focuses on developing a better understanding of these landowners: their needs, motivations, objectives, and activities. To do so, he assists in implementing and analyzing the National Woodland Owner Survey (NWOS). Much of Jesse's research incorporates linking NWOS data with spatial data and/or ancillary quantitative data, in order to leverage the unique information captured by the NWOS within a larger and richer data ecosystem.
