[Forest_Biomass] SB 1072 report on the web

[WEEKS Kevin]

2005's Senate Bill 1072 directed the State Forester to report to the Legislature and Governor on the effects of removing forest biomass and impacts on plant, wildlife, soil, water and air resources in Oregon. The 2008 report also summarizes the resource protection requirements in place, reflects on the amount of biomass currently being utilized, and provides State Forester recommendations for the future. 
 
That report is available on the Oregon Department of Forestry web site at:
