Dear Commissioner Kier:
AUG 2017
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages approximately 14,717
acres of State Forest Transfer and Purchase Lands that benefit Jefferson County. These lands
generated $262,000 in the first two quarters of calendar year 2017. We estimate these lands will
generate approximately $1,037,000 total for calendar year 20I7 from activities expected to occur
under current contracts.
Net value under contract for calendar year 2018 is estimated at $76,000. This income
information does not include anticipated revenues from additional planned activities (contracts
harvests, Ieases, easements, etc.) for which contracts have not been finalized. These income
estimates are net after the current agency management cost percentage has been applied.
Some counties receive portions of their income from leases and fees; however, the majority of
income reflected in this report is derived from timber sales. As most revenue stems from timber
sales, these projections can fluctuate depending upon when timber harvests occur. Market
conditions, weather, contract requirements, and regulatory requirements influence timber
purchasers' decisions about when to harvest. The next projection of State Forest Land revenues
will be available in October 2017.
I appreciate how necessary revenue is to the success of county functions. DNR consistently
strives to ensure that we realize the maximum available income from the State Forest Transfer
and Purchase Lands we manage on behalf of the counties. Should you have any questions
regarding this information, please contact Mona Griswold, Olympic Region Manager, at 360-
374-2800 or at mona.griswold@dnr.wa.gov.
