Regional Forest Practice Committee for SW Oregon Meets October 17th in GP
The Regional Forest Practice Committee for Southwest Oregon will meet at 9 a.m. this morning at the Oregon Department of Forestry Office on Monument Drive near Grants Pass.
The committee's agenda includes division updates, Operator of the Year discussion and voting, Forest Practice Technical Guidance development and stream flow permanence update, E-Notification System changes, Forest resources training strategy and compliance monitoring update.
Regional Forest Practices Committees are panels of citizens -- mandated under Oregon law -- that advise the Oregon Board of Forestry on current forestry issues and forest management approaches. Under Oregon law, a majority of the committees' members must be private forest landowners and logging or forest operations companies.
Oregon's forests are among the state's most valued resources, providing a balanced mix of environmental, economic and social benefits.
The public may attend the meeting in-person or online via Zoom. Public comments will be accepted.
To join virtually, please use the Zoon video conference information found on the agenda. To provide public comment, please e-mail "forestresources.committees@odf.oregon.gov."
