Oregon Department of State Lands

The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) manages state-owned land, waterways, and natural resources to support public interests, environmental health, and economic development. They oversee the stewardship of land titles, wetland and waterway conservation, and reclamation of former industrial sites. DSL also manages the State Land Fund, which generates revenue for public programs. Their work ensures sustainable use of Oregon's natural resources, protects navigable waterways, and maintains public access to vital land and water areas, balancing environmental preservation with responsible resource management.
