The Olympic Peninsula RAC is a group of 15 volunteers who provide advice and recommendations to the Olympic National Forest regarding the allocation of Title II funds, fee proposals,
and greater project work across the Forest.
The committee's role is to improve collaborative relationships among community members and land managers that use and care for the National Forests, as well as provide advice and recommendations
to the Forest Service concerning projects and funding consistent with Title II of the Secure Rural Schools Act (SRS Act).
Advisory committee members represent a wide variety of backgrounds and interests with equal representation from local tribal and government agencies, industry, environmental groups,
recreation groups, and residents.
