The Forest Use Survey is a snapshot of household resource
use in the Tanana Valley. ABFC partnered with the Alaska Department
of Natural Resources Division of Forestry, University of Alaska
Fairbanks School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences,
and University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Management to
find out how people in the Tanana Valley use their forest.
Established survey techniques were used with oversight provided
by UAF's Office of Research Integrity..

How
is the Forest Use Survey Related to the mission of ABFC?
Economy, ecology, community, the Forest Use Survey integrates
all three. It provides a working example of the ABFC definition
of sustainability. In order to sustain our partnership with
the land we must first find out if and how residents use it.
This use implies land value both real and potential. This
survey echoes the people's voice, and provides information
to land managers and policy makers that can aid in decision
making and gap analysis.
