The Northwest Oregon Re
gional Forest Practices Com
mittee, appointed by the Board
of Forestry to review proposed
forest practice rules, will meet
on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 at
10 a.m. at the Oregon Depart
ment of Forestry District Office,
801 Gales Creek Road, Forest
Grove, OR. The meeting is
open to the public.
ODF staff will review and
seek regional comments on
draft water protection rules.
The draft rules are based on
recommendations provided by
two citizen advisory groups, the
Forest Practice Advisory Com
mittee and the Eastside Ripari
an Functions Advisory Commit
tee, as well as rule concepts
that are anticipated to be ap
proved by the Board of Forestry
on April 25. Examples of these
rule concepts include using the
same stream prescriptions for
large and medium-sized non
fish bearing streams as cur
rently required for fish bearing
streams of equivalent size, and
creating a viable incentive for
landowners to place large
wood in streams where it pro
vides the greatest benefits to
salmonids.
The Northwest Oregon Re-
gional Forest Practice Commit
tee consists of nine members
who assist and advise the
Board of Forestry in developing
forest practice rules that are
appropriate for forest condi
tions in Oregon.
The meeting will include time
for members of the public to
comment on agenda items. For
more information, contact
Gregg Cline, Forest Practices
Director, at (503) 945-7482.

range of services to individuals
