Oregon National Forest Administrative Site Disposal Act

The Oregon National Forest Administrative Site Disposal Act (S. 741) authorizes the U.S. Forest Service to sell, exchange, or donate specific parcels of federal land and facilities within several National Forests in Oregon. The bill allows the government to transfer these administrative sites—which often include old ranger stations or storage facilities—to state and local governments for public use or to private entities at market value.

For local residents, this legislation facilitates community development by allowing the city of Oakridge to establish a timber museum and providing the Eugene Mission the first opportunity to purchase land for its operations. Additionally, the bill directs that proceeds from these 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.
