County Advisory Group for State Forests, April 7

A group of county commissioners representing Oregon counties that, in the past, deeded forestland to the state for management will meet on Tuesday, April 7 in Salem. Items on the Forest Trust Land Advisory Committee’s (FTLAC) agenda include a forest management plan update, including discussion on recent stakeholder outreach; state forest-related topics for the 2015 Oregon legislative session; and conversation on eastern Oregon forest management. The meeting will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Government Center, 1201 Court Street, Room 113 in Salem. FTLAC meetings are open to the public, and an opportunity for public comment will be provided at approximately 1:45 p.m. The FTLAC is a legally mandated committee of county commissioners representing counties that deeded lands to the state. The committee advises the Board of Forestry on matters in which counties may have a responsibility related to forestland managed by ODF. The FTLAC is made up of seven members representing the 15 counties that have state forest land within their county boundaries. The trust counties include: Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Douglas, Josephine, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Polk, Tillamook and Washington.
