An Act To Amend the Duties of the Division of Forestry

This legislation would add "Landowner Relations" to the mission of the Maine Forest Service. While they have performed these functions for many years, it is not listed in Statute as one of their roles. They have, for example coordinated the Landowner Clean-up Day for each of the last two years. We supported this bill. The Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee voted unanimously in favor of the bill. It is now onto the full Legislature for consideration.
