OSWA Day at the Capitol
On odd legislative years, OSWA holds an event at the state Capital during the legislative session to introduce legislators to issues important to small woodland owners and to educate OSWA members about the inter-workings of Oregon's legislative process. This event, known as "Day at the Capital" has been effective in meeting both objectives. The next OSWA Day at the Capital will likely be in April 2013.
