Members include a fisheries biologist; a non-industrial private forest landowner; two forest landowners (one from northern Idaho and one from southern Idaho); two resident forest operators (one from northern Idaho and one from southern Idaho); two members of the general public (one from northern Idaho and one from southern Idaho); and one at-large member.
