Salem, Ore. – A group of county commissioners representing Oregon counties that, in the past, deeded forestland to the state for management will meet on Tuesday, May 26 in Salem.

Items on the Forest Trust Land Advisory Committee’s (FTLAC) agenda include a forest management plan update, and a 2015 Oregon legislative session discussion.

The FTLAC is a legally mandated committee of county commissioners representing counties that deeded lands to the state. The committee advises the Board of Forestry on matters in which counties may have a responsibility related to forestland managed by ODF.

The meeting will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Tillamook Room, Building C at the Oregon Department of Forestry campus, 2600 State Street, in Salem. FTLAC meetings are open to the public, and an opportunity for public comment will be provided.

The FTLAC is made up of seven members representing the 15 counties that have state forest land within their county boundaries. The trust counties include: Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Douglas, Josephine, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Polk, Tillamook and Washington.
