Commissioners briefed on state Bill 3103 requiring 10-year sustainable-harvest plans for Tillamook State Forest
Summary
Board members were updated on House Bill 3103, which would require the Oregon Department of Forestry to develop a sustainable harvest plan every ten years for the Tillamook State Forest; the bill has passed a House committee and will move to the Senate.
During board concerns on April 2, commissioners discussed House Bill 3103, a state-level bill that would require the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) to prepare a sustainable harvest plan for the Tillamook State Forest every 10 years.
A commissioner summarized the bill for colleagues: the sustainable-harvest plan would identify the amount of timber that can be harvested sustainably over a defined window and would require ODF to meet that harvest amount or make planned adjustments to subsequent years if targets were missed. The commissioner said the bill had moved out of the House committee where it originated and was headed to the Senate.
The discussion noted the bill aims to increase transparency and consistency in harvest planning and that county staff and commissioners will continue to monitor its progress in the Legislature.
No formal county action was taken during the meeting; the note was an informational update under board concerns.
