Forests serve a multitude of purposes, from providing habitat and recreation to supporting Oregon’s needs for wood products and sustainable building materials. 

As a forest landowner, you may reach a point where harvesting timber or other forest products becomes part of your stewardship journey. Whether it’s a planned timber harvest to meet management goals or discovering the potential of non-timber resources such as mushrooms, decorative foliage or specialty woods, your forest can offer a wide array of opportunities to meet both personal and ecological objectives. 

By managing these resources responsibly, you can support the health of your forest while enjoying its many benefits.
