The Oregon Department of Forestry relies on advisory committees to provide informed input about issues facing forestry. The following two committees focus on issues affecting state-owned forests.
The Forest Trust Land Advisory Committee is an advisory group of elected County Commissioners mandated by statute that advise the Oregon Board of Forestry and Department of Forestry on matters related to state forestland managed by ODF. Counties depend on revenue generated from management activities on these lands. The committee meets about six times per year. Time is set aside at each meeting for public comment.
The State Forests Advisory Committee represents diverse interests and provides input to the department and the board on state-managed forestland in northwest and southwest Oregon. Committee membership includes environmental, recreational and timber industry groups, as well as individuals nonaffiliated to particular interests. In addition to the various interests, Oregon counties receiving revenue from timber sales are represented. The committee meets about five times a year. Time is set aside at each meeting for public comment.
