Timber Sales

A critical part of the Forest Service mission is protecting and managing the national forests and grasslands, so they best demonstrate the sustainable multiple-use management concept. Timber specialists work hand in hand with fire managers to restore forest health.

Timber harvested creates a win-win partnership that can provide jobs while improving forest health and supplying fuelwood for heating buildings, pallets for shipping goods, lumber for construction, and other wood products.
