Abstract: Local government regulations of forestry practices on private land are often developed independently and without a full understanding of possible economic consequences. The number of forestry‐related ordinances is growing, particularly in the southern United States. St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, is a prime example of an increasingly exurbanized area that has passed a number of forestry‐related ordinances. Impacts of forestry‐related ordinances on timber harvesting activities were examined using seemingly unrelated regression. Results indicate that a significant negative relationship exists between an ordinance requiring a $10,000 road performance bond and the level of timber harvest in the Parish. (JEL Q23, Q28)
