\"\"\u200bThe Washington Post has published an article stating that experts fear how smaller parcels of forest owned, combined with an increase in the number of owners, will affect the long-term health of the American woodlands. With smaller parcels of land, owners are less likely to invest in forest management plans because\u00a0managing wildlife is more difficult\u00a0compared to a larger parcel of land. Also the average age of those who privately own forest\u00a0land is 62.5. The article pointed out how the best and most important thing to do is bridge the gap between the generations, so parents and children talk to each other and know what they want. The restoration of the forest land will benefit many generations to come.<\/p>\n
