FOREST LAND OWNERSHIP SHIFTS The conversion of rural lands to other uses, particularly urban-oriented ones, is continuing concern in the United States. Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station researchers analyzed private land ownership and use changes in western Oregon between 1962 and 1975. They found that approximately 210,000 of the million acres of timberland in the area were converted — primarily for pasture and other agricultural uses. During this same period, the forest industry purchased 280,000 acres of timberland — mostly from farmers and other private owners. Although this land did not contain large volumes of timber, it had higher than average tree-growing potential (site quality). As a result of these shifts in land ownership and use, forest industry timberland area has increased 7 percent, while farm and other private timberland area has decreased 15 Small timber tracts in western Oregon are being converted to other uses. 39.
