[ODFW News]

For Immediate Release Thursday, Sept. 22, 2005
ODFW to fill positions on Access and Habitat Program board 
 
SALEM - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials today announced
applications are being accepted for one hunter and one landowner
representative to the Access and Habitat Board. The application deadline
is Oct. 21.
 
The Access and Habitat Program was created by the 1993 Oregon
Legislature to form partnerships with private landowners to improve
wildlife habitat and increase hunting access on private lands by
awarding grants for projects that accomplish these goals. 
 
The Access and Habitat Board is made up of seven citizen volunteers -
three landowner representatives, three hunter representatives and one
public-at-large representative - who review and recommend wildlife
habitat improvement and hunter access projects for funding to the Oregon
Fish and Wildlife Commission. The program is funded by a $2 surcharge
included in hunting license fees. 
 
Board members are appointed by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission
to four-year terms. They meet three or four times each year in various
communities throughout the state to review project funding applications,
hear public testimony and act as liaisons between the program and the
public. Those with an interest and experience in hunting, forestry,
farming, ranching and/or wildlife conservation are encouraged to apply.
 
To request an application and instructions for applying, contact Access
and Habitat Program coordinator Nick Myatt, (503) 947-6087. Applications
may also be downloaded from the ODFW Website at
www.dfw.state.or.us/AH/get_involved.asp.
