Abstract

To ensure sustainable forest management, public authorities have been working on the creation of policy tools to stimulate private forest owners' cooperation and active forest management. The effectiveness of these policy tools depends on their adoption and private forest owners' organizations (PFOO) are interlocutors with a crucial role. Hence, it is important to comprehend the acceptance level, the main reasons for adherence, and whether the benefits of cooperation are made possible by these policy tools. Although the literature recognizes the relevance of PFOO, their acceptance and perception about forest policies and particularly, policy tools, is still not completely unravelled. For this purpose, an exploratory study based on primary data collected by means of an online survey was conducted in Portugal. All the Portuguese PFOO registered were contacted, with a response rate of 47%.
