Benton County Forestland Classification & Forest Patrol – Frequently Asked Questions
Forestland Classification Process Update
Forestland Classification Committees appointed by each County are in the process of evaluating areas that determine ODF's fire protection responsibilities. This is a process that encourages individual and public participation. Benton County established a classification committee in 2008. It took nearly two years for the committee to complete a preliminary classification.
Public informational meetings were held throughout Benton County. The committee worked to develop press releases and advertised to the public all meeting dates and locations. A public hearing was held on February 18th, 2010. The committee reviews all testimony received prior to and at the public hearing.
