Elliott State Research Forest
This historic bill was almost a decade in the making––we've come a long way from when OLCV led the fight to protect the Elliott State Forest from being privatized. Since then, the state, area tribes, and a group of stakeholders including conservation groups, Oregon State University, and others have been working on developing a lasting solution to the challenges facing the Elliott Forest. Under the bill the forest will remain in public hands while becoming a state research forest, and it also substantially increases the protection of mature and old growth habitat. The state purchased the forest permanently, effectively decoupling its funding from the Common School Fund (no longer pitting education funding against sustainable forest management).
Yes is the pro-environment vote.
