Current Graduate Students:
Nate Anderson – Ph.D.
Research Area:
Nate’s research interests are focused on private forestland and the effects of land ownership patterns
on the economic viability of long-term management for forest products. He is currently working on two
projects,
one in the Catskill Region of
Northeastern states. In the Catskills, he is examining the impact of parcelization of non-industrial private
forestland
(NIPF) on timber quality and the potential for sustainable forest management.
The
study is examining how ownership patterns affect economies of scale in wood procurement for primary wood
products
producers, including sawmills in both the
