The Oregon Board of Forestry’s Subcommittee on Federal Forests will meet November 18 in Salem to work on implementing actions in the subcommittee’s federal forests work plan. The Federal Forests Subcommittee Work Plan was recently approved by the full Board on July 25, 2014. The meeting will be held from 1:30- 3:00 p.m. in the Tillamook Room – Administration Building C, at the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Salem Headquarters, 2600 State Street. Members of the subcommittee may attend by conference call; the public is invited to attend in person. Meeting materials are available at
www.oregon.gov/odf/Pages/board/BOF_Subc_Fed_Forests.aspx. Oregon has 30 million acres of forestland, of which more than 18 million acres are federally owned. The subcommittee was formed in January 2013 to explore means of ongoing board engagement in federal forest management issues, in concert with Gov. John Kitzhaber and other public policy leaders.
