Description of survey design. As a part of this task and of critical importance to the survey instrument’s design, a literature review was conducted on societal perceptions of forests, forestry, and the forest-based sector in Europe. The review evaluated previous relevant empirical studies and meta-studies, employing a recursive sampling approach to identify gaps, include diverse perspectives, and adapt the survey to the needs of the EUFORE project. Additionally, industry experts were consulted to further inform the survey instrument’s design. 1. This draft was subsequently translated by EUFORE project partners into the respective languages of Denmark, Finland, Croatia, Italy, Germany, and Slovakia where online focus groups were held to pre-test the survey. These countries were chosen as they aligned with the regionally distributed stakeholder workshops, part of Task 3.3 and held in the Nordic region, Eastern-Central region, Mediterranean region, West- Central region, and South-Eastern region of Europe. A focus group could not be organized in West-Atlantic region due to logistical and time constraints of consortium partners and as such, a second focus group was held in the Nordic region. The output of the focus groups was not largely different between regions and hence, we do not think this change will impact the results. A protocol for conducting the focus groups was provided to ensure consistency across interviews. The interviews lasted between 1-1½ hours and were conducted using a video conferencing platform online and consisted of 5-8 participants who as far as possible represented the sociodemographic variation within the target population of the country (e.g., diversity in gender, age, income, education, and if possible, a diversity of participants living in urban and rural areas). To avoid the mixing of experts and non-experts in the groups, and as expert insight is explored elsewhere in EUFORE, the recruited participants were not to own a forest or have links to forestry and the forest-based sector. Additional measures to ensure unbiased results in the pre-testing stipulated that participants could not be working on the EUFORE project, be related to anyone working on the EUFORE project, or know each other. Consent for participation in the focus groups and use of the information discussed for research purposes was received by all participants. All participants were first allotted up to 30 minutes to take the survey which was followed by a moderated group interview that largely p...
