The Private Forest Accord Mitigation Fund was established in the 2022 Legislative Session (Senate Bills 1501 and 1502;
House Bill 4055) as an outcome of the landmark agreement between timber and conservation groups to recommend changes to
the Forest Practices Act. The Private Forest Accord allows for forest practices to proceed with increased protections
for natural resources, including the development of a habitat conservation plan (HCP) for aquatic species. The Private
Forest Accord Mitigation Fund’s purpose is to fund projects that help aquatic species and habitats covered by the HCP,
and is to be administered by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Learn more about this important effort at the
Oregon Department of Forestry’s webpage.
