Private Forest Accord Report

This Private Forest Accord Report (the Report) is presented to the Oregon Legislature, Oregon Governor Kate Brown, and the Oregon Board of Forestry on February 2, 2022. It memorializes the agreements of the Authors (see below) to modify Oregon’s forest practice laws and regulations to craft a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) that will achieve the issuance criteria of an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) under Section 10 of United States Endangered Species Act for the Covered Species (as defined in Section 1.4.1). These agreements are collectively known as the Private Forest Accord (PFA) and were the result of negotiations that concluded on October 30, 2021. The PFA negotiation process was established under the February 10, 2020 Memorandum of Understanding (the MOU), then formalized and funded through passage of SB 1602 (2020).
