NEWFOREX project publication Górriz-Mifsud E., Mäntymaa E., Petucco C., Schubert F., Vedel S.E., Mantau U., Prokofieva, I., 2014. Explaining participation of private forest owners in economic incentives. Case studies in Europe. Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Scandinavian Society of Forest Economics. Uppsala, Sweden, May 2014. Taking part in voluntary land management instruments implies certain motivations of private forest owners. Better understanding these motivations can help policymakers design incentives that are most likely to tempt participation from these owners. This study draws from interviews and surveys of private forest owners in Europe to explore which incentive mechanisms, and which preconditions of owners, are most likely to result in uptake and success.
