The Advisories
The Board's Charter states, "The advice of the Board shall
consist of the consensus of its members, representing a range of
scientific disciplines including the physical, biological, and
social sciences." This advice was adopted after public
deliberation as required by FACA. As explained above it was
transmitted "in real time" to the Forest Service and public. For
the Secretary of Agriculture the Advisories are collected
together in this, the Board's Final Report.
