The Bureau of Forest Fire Control and Forestry has a policy for public outreach of forest management projects which can be found in the Public Outreach and Consultation for Forest Cutting Plans Policy.
Written public comments are due within 45 days of posting the Proposed Forest Management activities in order for the Bureau to address the public issues and incorporate suggestions and concerns into the silvicultural prescriptions. A Public Notification Summary Public Comment Card Aid has been developed to assist you in providing comment on specific projects.
