Review of expenditures/revenue from 2008.
New Business-
2008 was a successful year for the PLFN. We stored nearly 900,000 trees throughout the year.
Among the storage customers this year were the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Capital Partners LLC,
and private landowners.
Rosemary Guttridge will work on an agreement with the USFS to use their coolers if there is an emergency
at PLFN.
Election of Officers:
The Board voted unanimously to reinstate all officers into their current positions.
Tree Availability:
Jamie gave a report for the 2009 planting season. Tree numbers appear to be about the same as last
year, as far as trees available. Orders are going good at this point.
Building Maintenance:
Dan showed a list of repairs that need to be done to the cooler building. The board voted unanimously
to make the repairs with a set amount of money to make the repair.
Larch Orchard:
Jamie gave a short presentation on a proposed Larch seed orchard for Northeast Oregon. The orchard
would help to establish a reliable seed crop for Northeast Oregon. This project is still in the planning phase.
The board voted unanimously in favor of cooperating with this effort.
