Montana Forest Restoration Committee

The Montana Forest Restoration Committee (MFRC) is the governing body under whose authority all work is conducted. The MFRC meets twice per year, and has the authority to approve new, Forest-level or local Restoration Committees, changes in Restoration Principles, etc.

In addition, the MFRC evaluates pilot efforts and makes changes as necessary to better accomplish the goals of the Forest Restoration Committees. Forest Service representatives serve as ex-officio members of the MFRC.

The duties of the MFRC are to:

  • Adopt rules and policies governing its operations
  • Adopt work plans and programs
  • Enter into agreements with other agencies or organizations
  • Adopt a budget
  • Adopt official policies or positions for the MFRC
  • Review the actions of the co-chairs, the Steering Committee, and any staff
  • Undertake any other action appropriate to the mission and purpose of the MFRC
