All volumes reported in thousand board feet (MBF) Scribner. Ownerships considered private include: Industrial private (Industrial), Nonindustrial private forests (N.I.P.F), and Confederated Native American tribes (Tribal). Ownerships considered public include Oregon Department of Forestry (State), United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service (Forest Service), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and County and Municipal (Other Public).



All of the timber harvest data for private and state lands are provided by request from the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), and include all volumes removed (hardwood and softwood) as logs, poles and pilings but not volume removed from woodcutting operations or per-acre-material.



For timber harvest on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) timberlands, data is collected from the BLM Timber Harvest Information System and include: commercial harvests, fuel wood, special forest products (timber harvests that are too small to be viewed as commercial), and stewardship contracting. BLM data can be found at: https://www.blm.gov/programs/natural-resources/forests-and-woodlands/timber-sales/bureau-wide-timber-data.



For timber harvest on USDA Forest Service lands, current data is obtained by special request from USDA FS, Nationa Forest System. Forest Service data include all convertible products including fuelwood and non-saw material.
