Timber sales gave western
Oregon $13.8 million boost
The Oregon and Washing-
ton division of Bureau of
Land Management sold 48.8
million board feet of timber
at auctions in March.
The timber, from “Railroad
Revested Lands” in western
Oregon, sold for nearly $13.8
million.
“Timber sales continue to
support Oregon’s economy
and well-paying jobs in local
communities,” Acting State
Director Jose Linares said.
“These sales are also an im-
portant tool to accomplish
our forest management ob-
jectives.”
For every million board
feet of timber harvested on
BLM-administered lands in
western Oregon, an estimat-
ed 13 local jobs are created
or maintained and $647,000
of employment income is
invested into local econo-
mies. One million board feet
of timber is enough to build
approximately 63 family
homes.
The bureau manages 245
million acres of public land
found primarily in 12 west-
ern states.
