BLM Timber Sales in Western Oregon Bring in nearly $13.5 Million in Revenue in July

The Bureau of Land Management sold 47.7 million board feet of timber across more than 1,600 acres for nearly $13.5 million in western Oregon this month. BLM officials said these sales will feed local mills and support jobs in western Oregon communities, producing enough timber to build roughly 3,000 homes. These timber sales align with the Trump administration's emphasis on maximizing the use of domestic resources, supporting rural economies and promoting American energy and independence. By accelerating active forest management and increasing access to public lands for responsible resource development, the BLM is helping meet national goals for job creation, reduced regulatory burdens and stronger supply chains for critical industries like timber production and home building. Locally, the Medford BLM District sold the Big Dog timber sale comprising 5.3 million board feet on 396 public acres near Butte Falls to Murphy Company of Eugene for over $693,000. There were two large timber sales in Douglas County and one in Coos County plus several others in the Northwest Oregon District. ...Read more
