The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) invites the public to comment on its draft plans to guide management of the state-owned forests. A comment period opens April 11 on both short- and long-term plans proposed for the approximately 821,000 acres of public forestland managed by ODF.
Written comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. on May 25.
The public is invited to comment on:
- annual operations plans for nine ODF districts
- 10-year implementation plans for forests managed by ODF's Astoria and Forest Grove districts
ANNUAL OPERATIONS PLANS
These plans describe specific activities such as timber sales and reforestation, road building, stream enhancement and recreation projects on the state forests. The draft annual operations plans are available for review at each ODF district office and at ODF headquarters in Salem. They are also posted on the ODF website.
After public comments have been considered and any changes made, district foresters will approve the annual operations plans for their districts. The plans under review are for the period from July 2011 through June 2012.
