Board of Natural Resources (BNR) Monthly Meeting (ONLINE)

The Board of Natural Resources (BNR) sets policies to guide how the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages our state’s lands and resources. The Board has several responsibilities:
  • Approve trust land timber sales
  • Approve sales, exchanges, or purchases of trust lands
  • Establish the sustainable harvest level for forested trust lands

Stop ClearcuttingThe Board meets the first Tuesday of each month from 9 am to noon. Currently, the meetings are taking place virtually until the Social Distancing order is taken down.  In person meetings are held in Olympia at the Department of Natural Resources Building.

The purpose of attending BNR meetings is to learn more about how they function and to make public comment on topics of interest.

The DNR website posts the agenda from each meeting a few days before the meeting.

After finding the meetings more akin to a day on the New York Stock Exchange, we realized the necessity of the voice of groups like the Washington Environmental Council and the Audubon Society, as well as community advocates like KEC.
