The Western Oregon Habitat Conservation plans to protect 17 federally listed endangered species to reduce the harm

Posted on April 4, 2022   |  

• The plan will protect the ODF from potential lawsuits and secure compliance with the federal Endangered Species Act for land management activities such as timber harvest, construction, and maintenance in the state forests over 70 years. 
• The plan is designed to provide pure water and high-quality habitat conservation while permitting timber harvest, which also funds the agency’s state forest programs, and helps local counties and rural communities.
