In your own words let them know:
  • The so-called "Effectiveness Monitoring Committee" proposed by the Board of Forestry is unacceptable! It's an attempt to shut out the public and eliminate transparency.
  • The real solution is to carry out ground-based pilot projects described in former bill AB 875 (Chesbro). These pilot projects should be incorporated and funded in the 2014 Calif. Natural Resources Agency budget.
  • Funding for these reforms is already provided for in AB1492's lumber tax, which was specifically intended for forest restoration purposes.
  • There are more than enough funds being generated via AB1492 to fund these reforms.
