The committee also makes policy recommendations to the Forest Practices Board about issues of concern to small forest landowners.
The Small Forest Landowner Advisory Committee was established by the Forest and Fish Agreement—a 1999 agreement to increase protection of habitat for salmon and other aquatic species on timberlands.
