Abstract
Forest lands are central to the identity and economy of Oregon.
Though both public and private forest lands contribute to the health and stability of Oregon, this Article focuses on public and private
forest lands not owned by the federal government for which Oregon
has forest management responsibilities, land use jurisdiction, and
established land use policies. These policies evolved from a
generalized combination of forest management and land use laws
intended to protect forest lands for forest use, and from conversion to
nonforest development, to a system where land use and forest
management laws are split between land use and forest agencies with
precise regulations designed to preserve and sustain private forest
lands necessary for the future of Oregon.
