Oregon Department of Forestry

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) manages the state's forestlands to ensure healthy ecosystems, prevent and respond to wildfires, and support sustainable timber practices. It oversees state-owned forests, provides forest management expertise, and promotes wildlife habitat preservation. ODF also collaborates with local communities, industry, and environmental groups to balance economic benefits with ecological health. Its primary goals are to protect public safety, conserve natural resources, and sustain Oregon’s forest-based economy through responsible stewardship and proactive fire prevention measures.
