An Overview of Oregon's State Forest Lands
 
The Oregon Department of Forestry manages about 848,000 acres of forestlands. There are four management plans to guide operations.
 
ODF-managed lands are mostly concentrated in six large state forests:
 
Clatsop State Forest 
Elliott State Forest
Gilchrist State Forest 
Santiam State Forest 
Sun Pass State Forest, and
Tillamook State Forest 
 
There also are a number of smaller forest tracts, scattered mostly in western Oregon’s Coast Range. Nine districts manage state-owned forests.
 
All state forest lands are actively managed under adopted forest management plans to provide economic, environmental, and social benefits to Oregonians. Most of the revenue from timber sales goes to county governments and local public districts, and from Common School Fund forest land to benefit schools throughout the state.  Go to history for background information on state forests. Go to legal mandates for the laws and administrative rules that dictate how state forests are managed.
 
About half (30 million acres) of Oregon is forestland.  State-owned forestlands represent about three percent of Oregon’s forests. The largest owner of forestland in Oregon is the federal government with 59 percent. Private ownership accounts for 35 percent.
