MFA commissioned Dr. Karen Potter-Witter, MSU Forest Economics professor, to do a few case studies, to look at how much a forest property might return as an investment.  While it is not looking at the values of the beauty, serenity, wildlife habitat, and clean air&water, it does provide a snapshot into how much a property might return.  We will try to evaluate more properties as we go, if more owners are willing to share their costs, and gains!
