State Land Board to Consider Future Management of Elliott State Forest, Dec. 9

Alternatives analysis will be presented at Dec. 9 public meeting. After seven months of research, public input and technical analysis, the Department of State Lands will present the State Land Board with a report on alternative ownership and management scenarios for the Elliott State Forest. The meeting will include nearly three hours for the public to provide comments to the Board. Because of an anticipated large number of public attendees, each commenter will be limited to three minutes. People are encouraged to bring their comments in writing in case time constraints prevent everyone from speaking. All oral and written comments will be made part of the official record. The meeting will be held: Tuesday, Dec. 9; 9:00 a.m. – Noon; Department of State Lands; 775 Summer St. NE; Salem.
