Oregon National Forest Administrative Site Disposal Act

H.R. 3013, the Oregon National Forest Administrative Site Disposal Act, authorizes the Department of Agriculture to sell, exchange, or donate specific parcels of National Forest System land and facilities within five National Forests in Oregon. The bill allows the federal government to transfer these properties—which are no longer needed for administrative purposes—to state or local governments for public use, or to sell them to private entities at market value.

For local residents, this legislation facilitates community development projects, such as the establishment of a timber museum in Oakridge and the expansion of services by the Eugene Mission. Additionally, the bill directs that proceeds from any sales be used for the maintenance and improvement of other Forest Service facilities within the state, while also making minor adjustments to the boundaries of the Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness.
