Abstract
In this paper, I first present two main economic entrepreneurship theories and an analytical framework for forest-based entrepreneurships that include personal, socio-economic, forestry or forest-management specific, and institutional/contextual factors. I then present a few successful forestry entrepreneurs in the United States to highlight importance of various factors. Finally, I speculate on the future of entrepreneurship in forestry in terms of sustainable production as well as environmental stewardship in light of the recent movement toward privatization of some public goods such as forest carbon and biodiversity, and discuss research and education related to forestry entrepreneurship.
