Meeting Purpose
This will be the Federal Advisory Committee’s sixth meeting for members to provide advice and pragmatic recommendations to the Forest Service regarding Northwest Forest Plan updates
and recommendations.
What is the Federal Advisory Committee’s role?
The FAC was established by the Secretary of Agriculture as part of ongoing efforts to amend the Northwest Forest Plan. The purpose of the FAC is to bring together diverse perspectives
representing the experiences of communities, experts, Tribes, and other interested parties across the Northwest Forest Plan landscape to inform ways that forest management can effectively
conserve key resources while considering social, ecological, and economic conditions and needs.
How can I get involved and learn more?
The Federal Advisory Committee does not replace the public involvement process or the public’s opportunity to engage directly with the Forest Service regarding Northwest Forest Plan
amendment efforts during the planning process. To learn more about the Northwest Forest Plan and future engagement opportunities please visit the Northwest Forest Plan website <https://vmm0dj30.r.u

The Northwest Forest Plan covers 24.5 million acres of federally managed lands in western Oregon and Washington and northwestern California. It was established in 1994 to address threats
to threatened and endangered species while also contributing to social and economic sustainability in the region. After nearly 30 years, the Northwest Forest Plan needs to be updated
to accommodate changed ecological and social conditions.

.
Additional Background: The Forest Service is required by law to develop plans that guide the long-term management of public lands. The Forest Service will amend the Northwest Forest
Plan in accordance with the 2012 Planning Rule, using public input and other public, private, and nonprofit organizations and governments. Land management plans establish priorities
and provide strategic direction for how the plan area is to be managed.
Amendments to this plan will be informed by findings in the Bioregional Assessment and Science Synthesis as well as input from the Federal Advisory Committee and a range of other interested
organizations and individuals. This effort builds on the agency’s Northwest Forest Plan work, including information gathers via monitoring, listening sessions and bioregional Assessment.
