Union County adopts MERA Forest Management Plan
Summary
The Board adopted the MERA Forest Management Plan after staff summary; commissioners praised the plan's detail and practicality and approved it unanimously.
Union County commissioners voted unanimously on Feb. 4, 2026 to adopt the MERA Forest Management Plan.
Parks Coordinator Josh Ford provided a brief summary of the plan, which commissioners said had been previously presented and contains detailed, practical guidance for maintaining MERA. Commissioner Paul Anderes thanked staff (and specifically "DK" for detailed work) for producing a plan he described as practical; Commissioner Jake Seavert said he had reviewed the plan in recent weeks and appreciated the documentation of planned efforts.
Commissioner Anderes moved to adopt the plan; Commissioner Seavert seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. The meeting record reflects formal adoption but did not include a timeline for implementation or funding details during the public session.
