NEWCASTLE, Wyo. – The Bureau of Land Management sold the following timber sales:
Stateline sold to Neiman, 2.4 million board feet for a total of $165,640
Goldie Divide sold to Neiman, 1 million board feet for a total of $52,780
Timber produced from these sales will provide critical supplies for construction and other industries, and support jobs across local economies. The projects are designed to improve forest health, reduce fuel loads to minimize risk of stand-replacing catastrophic fires, improve firefighter and public safety, and improve wildlife habitat and grazing.
America has significant timber resources, and the BLM is focused on using forests for timber and jobs that improve life for all Americans. These sales support Executive Order 14225, “Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production.”
The BLM manages 58 million acres of some of the most productive forests in the world, and is committed to supplying a reliable, secure, and resilient domestic supply of timber. BLM forestry supports economic security, reduces risks from wildfire, conserves fish and wildlife habitat, and decreases costs of energy production. Local communities rely on jobs that come from BLM forests, and timber from public land feeds local industry.
