The purpose of FPAC, as established by Idaho Code, is to provide technical assistance to IDL and the Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners (Land Board) in matters relating to the Idaho Forest Practices Act. The committee typically meets two or three times per year depending on current issues. It is comprised of nine voting members appointed by the IDL director for three-year terms. 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.

 

This is a public meeting and space in both conference rooms is limited, therefore, those who would like to attend are asked to RSVP by contacting Gary Hess at (208) 666-8636 or ghess@idl.idaho.gov.  Lunch will be provided for FPAC members and participating IDL staff only.
