Oregon Small Woodlands Association past president Ilene Waldorf will discuss the Forest Resource Trust program with the board. ODF staff will discuss rulemaking to implement ORS 526.662 regarding stewardship agreements. The agreements provide forest landowners with incentives that encourage investments beyond regulation as a means to sustain and enhance the health of their forests. The board will hear reports on the Western Oregon State Forests Habitat Conservation Plan. A progress report on landscape and habitat suitability modeling for the Oregon forest assessment project, and a land exchange involving the Board of Forestry, State Land Board and Simpson Timber Company in Lincoln and Polk counties are among the other agenda items.
Executive sessions are closed to the public.
