The A&H Program has improved public hunting access and wildlife on private lands in Oregon since 1993. A seven-member citizen board provides oversight of the A&H Program. Appointed by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, the board consists of three members representing agriculture and timber landowner interests, three members representing hunter interests, and one chair who represents the public. Five, seven-member councils throughout the state act as advisory councils to the state A&H Board.
