Nine members shall be individuals who are actively and principally engaged in timber management on forestlands, harvesting or the processing of forest products, one of whom shall be from a small woodland owner’s association, three members shall be individuals who are the heads of state and federal public forestry agencies and three members shall be individuals from the public at large. No individual who is a public member may have any relationship or pecuniary interest that would interfere with that individual representing the public interest. The advisory committee shall render practical counsel in the fields of forest management and use and forest harvest and utilization as they relate to the economic and social well-being of the people of Oregon.
