Timberland Access
In accordance with the Siletz Tribal Timberlands Access Policy, access to Tribal
timberlands that are located behind closed gates is by permit only. This pertains
to the Tribe’s Bulls Bag, Reed Creek, Arnold Creek and Tahkenitch properties.
Tribal members can obtain a free permit at the Tribe’s Natural Resources
Department office in Siletz. The permit includes a map of the property and a
listing of the rules governing use of the property.
Tribal members also will receive a key to the lock on the gate after providing
a $20 refundable key deposit. The deposit will be returned to the Tribal member
upon return of the key to the Natural Resources Department.
A link to the full text of the Siletz Tribal Timberlands Access Policy can be
found on the Tribe’s website (ctsi.nsn.us) under the Natural Resources section.
Questions regarding the policy should be directed to Natural Resources
