Garrett Kleiner, a forester in our Coos Bay office, has recently been appointed to the Southwest Regional Forest Practice Committee.
“Regional Forest Practice Committees are panels of citizens, mandated under Oregon Law, that advise the Oregon Board of Forestry on current forestry issues and forest management approaches. Three Regional Forest Practice Committees, serving the Northwest, Southwest and Eastern regions of the state, were created by the 1971 Oregon Forest Practices Act. Under Oregon law a majority of Regional Forest Practice Committees members must be private forest landowners and logging or forest operations companies.” https://www.oregon.gov/ODF/Board/Pages/RFPC.aspx
