Timber Sale Contracts
Too often timber harvests are conducted with no more than a nod and a handshake between the parties involved. Although this procedure sometimes works, a written agreement is far better.
Upcoming Timber Sales
IDL timber sales help fund vital public institutions and services. Our timber sales generate millions for beneficiaries like Idaho’s public schools, veterans’ homes, and colleges and universities.
Idaho’s forest products industry is the largest contributor to the endowments’ annual revenue. The trees we sell account for 25% of all timber harvested in Idaho. IDL foresters protect the endowments’ renewable timber resources by managing the land, selling the timber, planting new trees, and repeating the process.
