Renewable Resources Extension Act of 1978 states:
Section 4(b): In meeting the provisions of this section, each State director and administrative
heads of extension for eligible colleges and universities shall appoint and use advisory
committees comprised of forest and range landowners, professionally trained individuals
in fish and wildlife, forest, range ad watershed management, and related fields, as
appropriate, and other suitable persons.
The Renewable Resources Extension Act Program develops and supports extension programs and partnerships to provide the information, tools and skills to improve forest health, resiliency and productivity, to identify economic opportunities, and to increase knowledge for better forest management in Alaska.
To achieve this mission the RREA Program must draw upon stakeholders and experts in Alaska for knowledge, advice and guidance. Our best source for this guidance is an active, well-informed, and committed Advisory Committee.
