Elliott State Forest Stream Enhancement and Road Improvement 1995—2013 ODF State Forests has a rich tradition of protecting and enhancing streams on lands that it manages. The Elliott State Forest continues to collaborate with the Coos watershed asso- ciation and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to design and implement wood placement projects to enhance fish habitat. Information documenting these efforts over the Fiscal Year 2014 last 18 years are presented in the table below (data provided by OWEB). Randy Smith, senior ODF biologist, pictured below, was responsible for designing and installing all of the in-stream wood placement projects in the Elliott State Forest.

FOREST MANAGEMENT: Timber market conditions continued to improve which increased stumpage prices for timber sales. However, the two State Land Board performance measures (Net Operating Income and Revenue) continued to show poor performance. This is a reflection of the significant policy change made in 2013 to ensure forest management activities are compliant with the ESA for marbled murrelets. This policy is implemented on all CSFL and has the greatest oper- ational impact on the Elliott State Forest-limiting the numbers of timber sales being offered. Refor- estation and young stand management are integral parts of forest activities that insure sustainable SOLD SALES flow of wood and development of habitat in the future. On CSFL reforestation occurred on 211 Five timber sales were sold that included CSFL and four acres and 1,497 acres of young stand management, which improve forest health and growth.

Kitzhaber, M.D. Secretary of State Kate Brown State Treasurer Ted Wheeler FROM: Doug Decker, Oregon State Forester SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2014 Report on the Status of Common School Forest Land Management The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) manages 117,238 acres of Common School Forest Land (CSFL), most of which (86,270 acres) is within the ODF Coos District, which includes the Elliott State Forest. These lands are managed through elements of an agreement among ODF, the State Land Board (Land Board) and the Department of State Lands (DSL), finalized in 2005. As trustee of this Common School Forest Land, the Land Board oversees management to provide Oregonians the greatest benefit, including conservation values and sound forestland management strategies. The DSL 2012 Real Estate Asset Management Plan directs that these lands provide a sustained, even flow of timber harvest. ODF achieves this mandate through goal-driven forest management plans approved by the Oregon Board of Forestry and the Land Board. Net revenues generated from Common School Forest Land are dedicated to the state’s Common School Fund (CSF). This agreement and partnership among ODF, DSL and the Land Board requires ODF to present an annual report regarding the status of management of Common School Forest Land. This status report includes information related to timber management (volume and value of harvested, sold and planned timber sales), fiscal year operating costs, revenue transferred to the Common School Fund, reforestation, intensive management accomplishments and costs, and other information affecting Common School Forest Land management and operations. Fiscal Year 2014 Harvest and Revenue The wood products industry continued a slow recovery in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014. Timber market conditions improved, increasing average stumpage prices for timber sales. A major influence on revenue performance was a joint motion to dismiss 2013 litigation involving marbled murrelet habitat. Policies resulting from the litigation’s dismissal significantly influenced Endangered Species Act (ESA) compliance for murrelets. These new policies directly influence forest management activities, resulting in decreased revenues generated on CSFL. 1 1. CSFL Harvest Volume: a. 11 MMBF (7 MMBF from the Elliott State Forest) b.
