Environmental supporters and the timber industry proposed the Private Forest Accord to Oregon lawmakers
Posted on February 16, 2022 |
- The Private Forest Accord is a settlement deal on logging rules, which boosts no-harvest buffers and makes other management changes.
- The bill will also strengthen rules for roads to confirm they do not block fish passage and do not increase residue in streams.
- In 2022, lawmakers will consider other landmark timber legislation apart from the Private Forest Accord, including a new management rule from the Elliott State Forest.
- The state forest's logging revenues are bound to provide funding for schools because it was considered for privatization but under Senate Bill 1546, the forest will be in state ownership, and its revenues will be decoupled from the Common School Fund after generating $121 million for the fund.
