We assessed loggers’ and foresters’ perceptions of Georgia forestry BMPs using the SWOT-AHP method. Both stakeholder groups agreed on the strength of BMPs improving the reputation of the logging community; however, differences exist among their respective rankings of factors under the SWOT categories of weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Presented by Chantal Tumpach, Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia.

Existing forest management in Nepal largely follows protection-oriented modality. As the nation relies on imports to meet the soaring timber demand, a new scientific forest management (SFM) initiative has been recently started. The focus of this study is to reveal stakeholder perceptions associated with SFM initiatives. Presented by Omkar Joshi, Oklahoma State University.

This study aims at understanding whether recreationists' intention to recreate in rivers, lakes or streams in West Virginia is affected by their water quality perceptions. Understanding this link is crucial for decision-makers in a state where economic sectors compete for natural resources management. Presented by Jonas Leveque, West Virginia University.
