State law requires two-thirds of forest revenues be distributed to the Forest Trust Land Counties, with the remainder earmarked for state forestry operations. Oregon operates five state forests that cover 729,000 acres of timberland.

The 357,000 acre Tillamook State Forest is Oregon’s top producer, generating $30 million shared by three counties.
