Welcome to the Product Sales and Leasing Division. Earning income for the schools and other state trusts is the focus of our division. Trust lands grow trees, vineyards, apples, and wheat, and support windmills and communications towers, among other endeavors.
We develop direction and oversight on state-owned trust lands in the areas of: timber sales; agriculture leasing; commercial real estate; rock, sand and gravel; minerals and mining; oil and gas exploration; communication sites; rights of way; and special forest products. We work closely with other divisions to ensure sustainable stewardship of the state’s natural resources.
Our efforts support income generation on the 3 million acres of state trust lands statewide. Of these, 2.1 million acres are forests and 1.2 million are agricultural, grazing and range lands (420,000 acres of range are also counted as forest). We also handle special use leasing and sales.
