Hood National Forests regarding the allocation of funds, fee proposals, and greater project work across the Forests.Advisory committee members represent a wide variety of backgrounds and interests and committees strive for equal representation from tribal and government agencies, industry, environmental groups, recreation groups, and local residents.
Working collaboratively with the Willamette and Mt. Hood National Forests, the RAC makes funding recommendations for projects proposed under Title II of the Secure Rural Schools Act (SRS Act). Projects are considered for Title II funding if they make additional investments in, and create employment opportunities through:
