Council of Advisors & Independent Scientific and Ecocultural Reviewers
Forest Bridges relies on a voluntary Council of Advisors, more than a dozen Independent Scientific and Ecocultural Reviewers, and other technical experts to deepen its collaborative process and widen valuable input into the development of its core work products. These vital Forest Bridges contributors are drawn from members of several Native American Tribes, career professionals across notable conservation organizations and, timber industry associations, university scientists, practitioners of law, and retired public officials.
The insights and experience of our advisors and experts strengthen our Principles of Agreement and Forest Policy Papers and inform our strategies for systems transformation in the management of the O&C Lands of western Oregon.
