Based on sufficient analysis and argumentation about characteristic, the evolution process of forestry property right system and the situation, questions of the present system reform, the purpose of this research is to find out the crucial factors that influence the effect of the reform of forestry property right system, and then determine the most valid policy on the premise that economy, society, environment could develop in coordinate way, offer help to the government. Based on the property right theory, this paper expatiates particularly on the reform process of collective forestry property right system in Hebei province from the point of the national interest maximization purpose since the foundation of the nation, and analyzes the system effect from the point of the influence that the system reform brings to the farmer's production and operation enthusiasm. Based on the analysis above, the paper carries on the following conclusions:Since the foundation of the nation, the country firstly implemented the land reform on the goal of consolidating political power and bossing around the popular. The land reform apportioned the farmer land confiscated from the landlord and gentry, then the farmer became the owner and the user of the land which enormously aroused farmer's production enthusiasm. Subsequently, the country, with the purpose of using the primitive accumulation of the forestry to develop industry, implemented a series of reforms such as the agricultural cooperative and the people's commune to take the land's ownership and usufruct back. The result of the reform is that it reduced farmer's production and operation enthusiasm and enhanced the cost of national operation. The process of the reforms is also the process which the country and the farmer gamble with each other repeatedly. The gambles resulted in the forestry property right system which takes "three decided" as the primary content, although the property right of the collective forest land still belonged to collectivity, the right of management belonged to the farmer which aroused farmer's production and operation zeal again. Because the reform of "three decided" still has a lot of questions (i.e. the main body of the property right is not clear; the right, responsibility and profit is not corresponding; and the implement of the policy is not normative etc.), with the purpose of promoting forestry development and improving ecological environment, the country implements the new round forestry property right system reform. It was in 2006 that Hebei province started the new round forestry property right reform, the main content of which is to clarify the property right, and it has made preliminary progress. After studying on the goal and principle, the overall course, the scope and the primary content of the reform, although the reform has made preliminary effect, it still exists a lot of problems, so based on the analysis of the questions and their reasons, some conclusions are obtained as follows: First, deal with problems of low enthusiasm of the formers, more property right dissension, low public welfare forest compensation properly; Next, consummate the supporting reforms gradually, the concrete measures are as follows: perfect the management system of forest cutting quota to protect the formers' rights and interests beyond damage; strengthen the construction of the forestry finance system to promote the forestry fund to cycle positively and improve the fund's use efficiently; strengthen the construction of the forestry insurance system and increase the country's input in the forestry insurance to provide safeguard for the forestry's sound develop; standardize the transfer system of forest resources and strengthen the management of the assets evaluation of the forest resource to ensure the transfer of the forestry property rights and promote the forestry to manage on a large scale.
