Bureau of Land Management Funding BLM forest land management is primarily concentrated on the 2.5 million acres of Oregon and California (O&C) Lands in western Oregon (Table A.10). They are managed under what could be interpreted as a special trust responsibility to the counties where they are located. Their management cost ($41.41/acre) is similar to the Oregon Department of Forestry lands ($39.23/acre) which are managed with a timber production emphasis
under a special agreement to the counties where they are located. The BLM manages an additional 25.5 million acres of forest and woodlands outside
of Alaska and western Oregon (Table A.11). Most of those would be considered woodlands and receive limited funding.
