Excerpt from Forest Owners and Timber Management in Michigan The original forests in Michigan contained roughly 380 billion board feet of sawtimber (spar hawk 1929, p. This is more than 15 times the present sawtimber volume. Although there was some early hardwood logging in southern Michi gan, it was the pine forest of the Saginaw Valley, the Thumb area, and, a little later on, areas farther north that _made Michigan famous as a midwestern lumber producer. Increased demand from eastern markets and the settlement 'of the Prairie States provided the impetus for the rapid growth of the pine lumber industry in Michigan after 1850.

Describes the small forest landowner population including its distribution as to type of owner, size of holding, objectives of ownership, forestry practices, problems, and responses to existing and proposed forestry programs. The considerable proportion of absentee owners and the owners whose primary ownership objective is other than timber production suggest that for the Upper Peninsula the traditional approaches of public forestry programs may need to be revised.
