Oregon operates five state forests that cover 729,000 acres of timberland. Overall, 12 counties shared in the revenues, led by $19.1 million to Clatsop County which contains the 147,000 acre Clatsop State Forest. The 357,000 acre Tillamook State Forest is Oregon’s top producer, generating $30 million shared by three counties.
