State Board of Forestry Subcommittee, May 18

The Alternative Forest Management Plan Board Subcommittee will meet in Salem on Monday, May 18, to discuss landscape level data and forest growth and modeling specific to the Northwest Oregon Forest Management Plan. Subcommittee members will also have the opportunity to provide further input to the Division on the current analysis related to the Northwest FMP. The Board of Forestry decided to pursue a land allocation – or emphasis area – approach for managing northwest Oregon state forests in November 2014, working to ensure that the State Forests Division at ODF improves conservation outcomes over time, and has a sustainable flow of revenue to continue providing services that benefit communities and the environment. The Board appointed a subcommittee to facilitate this work. Meeting details: When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., May 18. Where: Tillamook Room, Building C, ODF Headquarters Office, 2600 State St., Salem.
