Abstract
Recently released national forest plans and conservation plans for the protection of the northern spotted owl all call for a change in management direction on public forest lands in Oregon. The result will be a substantial reduction in public timber harvests in the state. This report summarizes how the conservation plans will influence Oregon's timber availability and economy in the context of overall changes in public land management. It details changes in timber availability, analyzes a range of potential outcomes on private land, provides geographical detail for harvest outlook, and outlines
the economic implications in terms of employment, income, and receipts to local governments
