Ron Borisch and Barry DelCurto appointed to ODFW Access and Habitat board - FishNews - 12-27-2007
SALEM, Ore. - Ronald Borisch of Keizer and Barry DelCurto of Halfway were appointed to four-year terms as landowner representatives on ODFW's Access and Habitat Board by the Fish and Wildlife Commission on Dec. 6 in Salem.
The A&H Board advises the Commission on awarding grants that improve wildlife habitat and hunting access to private lands throughout the state. The A&H Program is funded by a $2 surcharge on hunting licenses and the annual auction and raffle sales of big game hunting tags.
A resident of Keizer, Ronald Borisch is assistant tree farm manager for Longview Fibre's Silver Falls Tree Farm. He is a member of the Linn Forest Protection Association board of directors and has been involved in a number of A&H projects that have provided public hunting access to industrial timberlands.
Barry DelCurto is a life-long rancher who lives in Halfway. He is a member of the A&H Program's Northeast Regional Advisory Council and is on the Pine Valley Rural Fire Department board of directors. He has also participated in A&H projects to improve wildlife habitat on his property.
Borisch and DelCurto will replace Theo "˜Tic' Moore of Baker City and Ward Armstrong of Salem, whose terms expire at the end of 2007.
Other members of the A&H Board include hunter representatives Duane Bernard of Ranier, Reinard Okeson of Hillsboro and Cove resident Steve McClellan; landowner representative Robert Jaeger, of Condon; and public representative Tally Patton of Eugene.
