Oregon Forest Facts updated for 2025-26

Portland, Ore. – The 2025-26 edition of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute’s Oregon Forest Facts publication is now available to order or download. 

The pocket-sized booklet, which has long been a mainstay of the Institute’s educational resources, serves as a detailed reference guide to Oregon’s forests and forest-based economy. It includes information, maps, graphs and statistics about forestland ownership, timber harvest, forest-based employment and wood products production. 

Along with the printed version and downloadable PDF, both available for free from the Institute’s online publication library, the information found in the Oregon Forest Facts 2025-26 Edition is available on a dedicated website, OregonForestFacts.org.

The updated Oregon Forest Facts includes the latest statistics on Oregon’s average forest sector wages, softwood lumber and plywood production, and total wildland fires and acres burned in the state over the past decade. Also included: new information on forest carbon storage, the number of forest sector jobs in each county, and the rising costs of fighting wildfires, among other data related to Oregon’s forests.
