The Bureau of Land Management sold 27.6 million board feet of timber across 1,255 public acres in Oregon in February, for a total of over $8.3 million in revenue.

A BLM release said this indicates a strong demand for American lumber manufacturing by exceeding total appraised values by over $3 million. This timber will feed local mills and support jobs in local communities.

In Douglas County, the Roseburg District sold the Muley Mount timber tract, which included 5 million board feet on 175 public acres to Scott Timber Company of Roseburg for just over $1.3 million.

The BLM plans to hold seven sales in March to offer 56.9 million board feet of timber across 1,939 public acres in Oregon.

The BLM manages 58 million acres of forests, including 2.4 million acres in western Oregon on some of the most productive forests in the world. The release said the agency is committed to supplying a reliable, secure, and resilient domestic supply of timber. BLM forestry supports economic security, reduces risks from wildfire, conserves fish and wildlife habitat, and decreases costs of energy production.

Each year, the BLM forestry program’s sales support approximately 2,000 jobs nationally and generate more than $1 billion for local economies.

In fiscal year 2025, the BLM offered 301 million board feet of timber under new sales, good neighbor agreements and stewardship contracts.
