$67M+ Net Timber Sales Surpass BLM 2025 Goal

Excerpts from the Bureau of Land Management December 16, 2025, press release:

The Bureau of Land Management in Oregon and Washington wrapped up fiscal year 2025 with a standout timber performance. Across Oregon and Washington, the BLM exceeded its annual goal and, in support of the President’s promise of increased timber production, offered 15% more timber than in fiscal year 2024. In total, BLM Oregon/Washington sold 241 million board feet of timber for $67,049,012 from October 2024 – September 2025.

In addition to new sales, in fiscal year 2025 the BLM facilitated the harvest of 250 million board feet of timber valued at nearly $66 million, a 7% increase in harvest volume and 9% more in revenue than fiscal year 2024. These harvests include sales that were purchased over the previous four years, reflecting years of planning and collaboration with purchasers and operators in the community.

In western Oregon, the BLM manages 2.4 million acres of some of the most productive forests in the world, and 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. Local communities rely on jobs that come from BLM forests, and timber from public land feeds local industry.

Each year, sales managed by the BLM’s forestry program in Oregon and Washington support local jobs and generate more than $1 billion for local economies. Revenue from timber sold on O&C lands is shared between the U.S. Treasury and 18 western Oregon counties. This funding provides local communities with the means to construct new county buildings; develop fairgrounds and museums; support libraries, schools, and jails; and build flood-control dams and reservoirs.
