To expand the scope of natural resources values included in the USDA Forest Service fire management analysis system, surveys were conducted of California and New England households regarding their willingness to pay for reducing fire intensity and acres burned in California and Oregon's spotted owl habitat in old growth forests. The amounts households would pay per year in California and New England for a 20% reduction in acreage burned in California or Oregon and for a combined program in both states were calculated.
