- Mission [1]
- The Provincial Advisory Committee was formed to advise seven federal agencies concerning implementation decisions and details
pertaining to the Northwest Forest Plan (applicable to federal forests in Western Washington, Oregon and Northern California).
The PACs identify concerns, which in turn are used to recommend budgeting priorities for available federal funds on key elements
of the plan such as watershed restoration, watershed analysis, and subsequent project planning efforts. Advice is tailored
to site specific areas in the plan area. Intergovernmental and public relationships improve significantly as a result of these
advisory committee meetings.Since 1994, the Provincial Advisory Committees and Provincial Interagency Executive Committees
have met for the purpose of facilitating the successful implementation of the Northwest Forest Plan. There are 4 Provincial
Advisory Committees in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California. The Deschutes PAC has also served as a Resource Advisory
Committee for the BLM during the development of the Standards for Grazing.
