Tribal trust lands have
increased by 884 acres
The Tribal Lands Department completed the transfer of 884 acres
of Tribal land into trust in February.
According to the Lands Department, this is the largest single
trust conversion for the Tribe, bringing the Tribe’s total trust lands
to 12,546.47 acres (including the Reservation). Known as the Tilla-
mook Forestlands, Tribal members can now participate in hunting,
fi shing, gathering, hiking and biking within this area located just
outside of Tillamook.
This is the second property from Tillamook County moved into trust
on behalf of the Tribe. Trust lands provide the Tribe with the right
and authority to license and regulate activities occurring on Tribal
lands. It is also a way to bring ceded homelands back into the Tribe
and out of the state’s jurisdiction.
The fee-to-trust conversion includes several steps and there are
strict requirements from the federal government. The Tribe has de-
veloped and maintained positive relationships with the federal, state
and local levels of government, according to Tribal Lands Department
Manager Jan Reibach.
“CTGR has been proactive over the years in developing these (rela-
tionships)...this makes the Tribe better equipped to have successful
fee-to-trust conversions.”
The Tribe’s Natural Resources Department is responsible for man-
aging trust properties on behalf of the Tribe, including the Tillamook
Forestlands. To review the Tribe’s policies regarding fi shing and
hunting or for more information on accessing this property, contact
Natural Resources at 503-879-4868 or nrdaccess@grandronde.org. n
