Forest Advisory Board

The Forest Advisory Board advises the Division of Forests & Lands on factors affecting the use, ownership and management of forest resources.

The mission of the Forest Advisory Board is to advocate implementation of the recommendations of the New Hampshire Forest Action Plan, to coordinate forest policy development, to facilitate dialogue between diverse interests, to assure opportunities for public participation in forest policy development and to advise the State Forester in the development of state programs and policies.

The mission is achieved in part by:

  • Providing a forum to consider the work of task related groups
  • Eliminating duplication in state policy development
  • Promoting cooperation among state agencies and supporting formal coordination efforts between public agencies, private landowners and other organizations
  • Coordinating with similar projects in neighboring states

The Forest Advisory Board was established into state law RSA 227-I:5.
