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.
