Responsibilities

Committee members closely monitor the effects of policy changes and other actions that affect family forestland owners and help develop policy, as necessary. They also help define the role family forestland owners play in sustaining Oregon’s forests, restoring salmon, and improving watersheds and the availability of timber. Their guidance is very helpful in determining the type and level of assistance family forestland owners need.
