Here’s how to comment on a proposed timber sale at the monthly WA Board of Natural Resources meetings held remotely by webinar every month. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Next Meeting:  Tuesday, July 7, 2020 at 9 a.m.<\/p>\n

These meetings are public-friendly.<\/strong> Public comments are taken at the start of the meeting. Please make your voice heard, very few people typically comment (aside from timber industry reps) so your comment DOES make a difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1. <\/strong>Go to this page on the DNR website<\/strong>: https:\/\/www.dnr.wa.gov\/about\/boards-and-councils\/board-natural-resources<\/a>.  Check the bottom of the page for a list of upcoming meetings and their agendas. (Even if your timber sale isn’t on a meeting’s agenda you CAN still comment.)<\/p>\n

Step 2. <\/strong>At the top of the page you’ll see a Covid19 update telling you if the next meeting will be held remotely. It looks like this, below. Click on the link that says “are available here” in blue.<\/strong><\/p>\n
