Seeking Resource Advisory Committee members to serve Siskiyou County
(Yreka, CA, 05, 26 2026) — The Klamath National Forest along with Siskiyou County needs 15 members to serve on a Resource Advisory Committee. Resource Advisory Committees review and recommend land management projects, directing money from the federal government to local priorities on or near federal land. Members may also vote on recreation fee proposals affecting National Forest System lands in their county.
Terms are four years and voluntary, though travel reimbursement may be available. Expect to meet two or three times per year at the Forest Supervisor’s Office in Yreka.
Resource Advisory Committees gather members from county communities across interests and expertise — including private industries, schools, local government, and environmental organizations. These committees work to improve relationships between the community and national forest personnel.
Committee members request, review and recommend projects to:
• Improve maintenance of existing infrastructure,
• Implement stewardship objectives to enhance forest ecosystems,
• Restore and improve land health and water quality, and
• Create additional employment opportunities.
To be considered for a Resource Advisory Committee, you must 1) live in the state of California and 2) be affiliated with one of the required categories. All applications and nominations will be reviewed after enough individuals have applied to fill all 15 seats on each committee.
Interested applicants must submit a cover letter and interest form by:
• Email to Julie Clark at [email protected] OR
• Mail to Klamath National Forest, 1711 S. Main St, Yreka, CA 96097.
