The Oregon Board of Forestry will discuss ideas for refinement and simplification of its planning processes at a Jan. 17 workshop in Salem.

The session will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Chemeketa Community College's Eola Viticulture Center, 215 Doaks Ferry Road NW.

Board members and Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) staff will work through topics that include the board's work plans and two-year planning cycle, and the links among work plans, agency business and longer-term strategic thinking.

The meeting is open to the public. However, no policy or business decisions are planned, and the workshop format does not include a public comment period.

The board consists of seven citizens nominated by the governor and confirmed by the Oregon Senate. Board functions include appointing the state forester, providing broad oversight of ODF, adopting rules governing timber harvest and other practices on state and private forestland, and promoting sustainable management of Oregon's 30 million-acre forestland base.

More information on the Board of Forestry can be found at: www.oregonforestry.gov<http://www.oregonforestry.gov/>. Agenda materials for the Jan. 17 meeting are available through the 2012 "Meeting Schedules" link on the website.

                                                                                    ###
