swath of coastal forest to either
a private buyer or the state.
Some 82,500 acres of the
Elliott State Forest in Coos
and Douglas counties are up
for sale, a contentious pro-
posal that has rallied the
state’s environmental groups.
The land is constitution-
ally required to generate rev-
enue for the Common School
Fund, which is essentially an
endowment for public K-12
education.
The land is supposed to
generate revenue for the fund,
but the forest has become
more of a fi nancial liability of
late because of declining tim-
ber harvests. The Land Board
— comprised of the gover-
nor, state treasurer and sec-
retary of state — is basically
a trustee for the benefi ciaries
of the fund, the state’s public
schools.
