The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sold 27.6 million board feet of timber across 1,255 public acres in Oregon in February, generating over $8.3 million in revenue. This exceeded the total appraised values by more than $3 million, indicating strong demand for American lumber manufacturing.

Why it matters

The BLM manages 58 million acres of forests, including 2.4 million acres in western Oregon, and is committed to supplying a reliable, secure, and resilient domestic supply of timber. These timber sales support economic security, reduce risks from wildfire, conserve fish and wildlife habitat, and decrease costs of energy production.

The details

In Douglas County, the Roseburg District sold the Muley Mount timber tract, which included 5 million board feet on 175 public acres to Scott Timber Company of Roseburg for just over $1.3 million. The BLM plans to hold seven sales in March to offer 56.9 million board feet of timber across 1,939 public acres in Oregon.
