ODFW release - SALEM, Ore. – The deadline for applications has been extended to July 11, 2025, for the Landowner Representative.  Application forms are available at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/lands/AH/get_involved.asp.  The Landowner Representative position is looking for individuals with experience in forestry or agriculture with an interest and experience in hunting and wildlife conservation. You do not need to own a farm, ranch, or timber to qualify. Interested individuals are encouraged to apply.  Statewide Board members are appointed to four-year terms by the Fish and Wildlife Commission. They meet four times each year in various communities throughout the state to review project funding applications, hear public testimony and act as liaisons between the program and the public. Hunter Representatives review project proposals from a hunter’s perspective and ensure hunters’ wants and concerns are addressed. A Landowner Representative ensures landowner views are incorporated into projects.  The A&H Board is made up of seven volunteers — three hunter representatives, three landowner representatives, and the Chair — who review and recommend wildlife habitat improvement and hunter access projects to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. The A&H Program is funded by a $4 surcharge on hunting licenses and the sale of deer and elk raffle entries and auction tags.  See the A&H Program webpage and most recent A&H Biennium Report for additional information on the A&H program.  Please contact Travis Schultz at (503) 947-6087 if you have any questions on the position.
