Public Involvement Oregon Department of Forestry
Public tour of a state forest
Public input into forest management is very important to assure that state forests are managed for the benefits important to Oregonians.
The department provides a variety of ways for citizens to participate in state forest planning, such as
public meetings,
public hearings, and
forest tours;
advisory committees;
formal comment periods; informal meetings;
newsletters, mailings, and other publications; and
volunteer work in the forest.
Formal opportunities for comment occur at different levels of
forest management planning and plan implementation, including
forest management plans,
habitat conservation plans,
recreation plans, the statewide
monitoring plan,
implementation plans, and
annual operations plans.
