It's Up to Us to Know the Rules
The 2022 Private Forest Accord and related updates to Oregon's Forest Practice Rules will impact all of us and our woodlands to some degree. Although the Oregon Department of Forestry, the new Small Forest Owner Office, and the Partnership for Forestry Education are all committed to making boots-on-the-ground education and training available, it is still up to us to keep ourselves informed–even if only to be able to ask better questions!

Oregon's Forest Practice Rules
visit the ODF
Small Forestland Owner Office
Resources on this page and your local Stewardship forester are your best resources for determining how and/or if the new Rules will affect you and your woodland.
