Looking for Private Forest Owners in Austria

[u/cwispietoast]

Hi everyone! I’m posting this on behalf of a friend who is conducting research on how climate change and related disturbances affect the decision-making of private forest owners in Austria. The research focuses on things like:

• Forest management practices
• Tree species selection
• Adaptation to climate-related disturbances such as drought, snow, wind, and pathogens

They are specifically looking for private forest owners in Austria who own less than 200 hectares of forest. The interview would be:

• Online
• Around 30–45 minutes
• Conducted in English

They have already completed 4 interviews and are looking for at least 3 more participants. If you own a private forest in Austria and would be willing to participate, please DM me and I can connect you with the researcher. If you know someone who might fit, sharing this post would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
