The Lane OSWA chapter is joining with the Emerald chapter of the Society of American Foresters for an informational evening on timber taxation in Oregon. Join us for a chance to talk with fellow woodland owners over dinner at Elmers, followed by presentations and Q&A to follow.

Lindsay Reaves — Western Lane Forest Protection district funding

Chris Edwards — Forest Products Harvest Tax

Terry Lamers — The Small Tract Forestland option: Is it Right for You?

note: Terry Lamers, Marion-Polk chapter president, shared a reminder that only forest landowners with properties between 10 and 5000 acres can choose which tax program is best for them. He recommends bringing your property tax statement(s) to help clarify which program you are currently enrolled in; tax statements with no improvements simplify things 😊
