SALEM (AP) — The Oregon Board of Forestry said Thursday it would rework its 2001 plan for managing the Tillamook and Clatsop state forests, but did not reveal any specifics.

Board members did not agree on whether to set new logging targets and did not OK a recommendation by the Oregon Department of Forestry to increase logging by relaxing some wildlife habitat goals.

A boost in logging would provide more money for Clatsop and Tillamook counties, but would come at the expense of habitat for struggling salmon and other wildlife.

The state Department of Forestry had set ambitious goals for creating more of the complex older forest stands favored by fish and wildlife. But in recent years it has found that it could not meet the timber goals set out in the Northwest Forest Management Plan — costing Clatsop and Tillamook counties a total of $36.5 million a year in their share of timber revenues.

The state took over the forests from counties decades ago following the series of wildfires known as the Tillamook Burn.

The board on Thursday heard from county leaders who said they have been counting on new revenue as the forests replanted after the Tillamook Burn mature to the point they can now turn out more timber and create jobs.

“We have been waiting for years for these forests to come on line,” Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi said. “It’s our feeling that they are on line and they’re being underutilized.”

But board members said they want to know how the logging might affect species that rely on the forests. If important species are jeopardized, board member Peter Hayes said, it could lead to federal protections that severely restrict logging.
