The deadline for the public to submit comments on draft annual operations plans to guide management of the state-owned forests has been extended through Friday, June 1, 2012, the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) announced today. Opened on April 9, the public comment period is for draft plans in the Astoria, Tillamook, Forest Grove, Western Lane, Coos, Southwest Oregon and Klamath-Lake districts.
The annual operations plans identify and describe specific projects pertinent to the economic, environmental and social aspects of managing state lands, such as timber sales, road maintenance, stream enhancement and trail building. Hard copies of the draft annual operations plans are available for review at each of the above listed ODF offices and ODF headquarters in Salem (See office locations below). They are also posted to the ODF website: www.oregon.gov/ODF/STATE_FORESTS/2013_AOP_Draft.shtml
Comments and questions on the plans may be sent to ODF in any of the following ways:
-
Through the web link
-
Email to: sfaoplans@odf.state.or.us
-
Fax to: 503-945-7212, Attn: Rod Nichols
-
Postal mail to: Rod Nichols/Public Affairs, Oregon Dept. of Forestry, 2600 State St., Salem, OR 97310.
