Cost, time, and benefit measures for personal use fuel-wood collection in Colorado. Forest Service research paper

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6970520
; ;

The average fuel-wood collector is willing to pay, beyond current perceived costs, an additional $21 to $29 per cord in order to continue collecting fuel-wood. The difference between willingness-to-pay estimates for fuel-wood collection and for wood purchased from a commercial vendor is assumed to present recreational value of fuel-wood collection. On that basis, the recreation values for the average collection is estimated to be between $6 and $12 per cord.
