New website - Tough Times in the Woods

We've developed a new page on our website to assist you in finding help, such as learning how funds allocated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are making their way into the forests of Oregon, and how these funds will translate into projects and jobs on the ground. Websites are also highlighted that show sources of cost-share funds for private landowners, and marketing opportunities through our Oregon Forest Industry Directory.

• Woodland Owners and Managers

Helping small woodland owners meet today's competing demands on forest resources is part of what we do. By providing the results of the latest research to landowners, we hope to empower them to meet their management objectives through sustainable and environmentally sound forestry practices.

• Timber Companies and Wood Industry Manufacturers
  Sharing knowledge with forest-based industries to make them more productive and efficient is also part of what we do. We help by providing information on new technologies, marketing ideas, taxes, and business management.

• Loggers and Forest Workers

Oregon's timber industry is facing change. We help those who work in the woods adapt to a changing world.

• General Public, Educators, & Youth

Oregon is a state with growing demands for all the benefits forests provide. Managing and maintaining our forests is complex. By providing information to the public, we help the decision-making process by helping people understand different points-of-views.
