The Bureau of Land Management generated more than $10.7 million in revenue from timber sales during the second quarter of 2026, supporting American jobs and increasing domestic timber supply.

A BLM Oregon & Washington release said during the quarter, the BLM sold about 41 million board feet of timber across 1,500 acres in Oregon and California. That amount of lumber is enough to build nearly 2,600 homes and support local economies, and well-paying jobs in logging, mills, and construction.

The quarterly results come as recently confirmed BLM Director Steve Pearce visited western Oregon to meet with BLM employees, industry partners, and local mills about the BLM’s timber program, and the work happening to support domestic timber production.

Pearce said, “This was such an important trip for me to take. It was great to see Americans doing real work on the grounds”. Pearce said, “These folks are part of a crucial industry that is helping rebuild the economy from the ground up”.

The BLM plans to hold six timber sales this month to offer 31 million board feet of timber across almost 835 acres.

The release said more than 20 percent of BLM-managed lands are forest and woodland ecosystems. The BLM ensures the health and resilience of these public forest lands as well as the availability of traditional forest products, such as timber.
