The FAC was founded 10 years ago on the premise that ecosystem balance can only be created from the bottom up, and only by the people who actually occupy that space because they are the only people who actually know what is going on there.

The ground rules of the Forestry Action Committee are open membership, to be broad-based, consensus and diverse. We operate by mutual courtesy and respect. It is our job to build the middle ground in the community and to come up with actions that improve the health of the community and watershed in the Illinois Valley through a focus on forestry. There are four main projects at this time:

• Riparian Tree Planting Project
• Wild Mushroom Monitoring Project
• Weed Pulling Project
• Fire Safety Project
  
  We also had the privilege of partnering with the Forestry Action Committee, a grassroots organization founded 10 years ago on the premise that ecosystem balance can only be created from the bottom up, and only by the people who actually occupy that space because they are the only ones who know what is happening on the land. This eco-development project was so strongly supported by the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Forestry Service, that it has become it's own self-sustaining non-profit organization.
