Project Description

The Myrtlewood Field Office (MFO), of the Coos Bay District BLM is proposing forest management and restoration activities in three Land Use Allocations (LUAs) described under the 2016 Northwestern and Coastal Oregon Record of Decision and Resource Management Plan (ROD/RMP) as Late-Successional Reserve (LSR), Riparian Reserve Class I watersheds (RR), and Harvest Land Base (HLB) and its sub-allocations Low Intensity Timber Area (LITA) and Moderate Intensity Timber Area (MITA).
The BWE Project Area is located entirely in Coos County, Oregon, and follows the boundaries of eight sixth-field watersheds (Elk Creek, Belieu Creek-Middle Fork Coquille River, Indian Creek-Middle Fork Coquille River, Yankee Run-East Fork Coquille River, Big Creek, Sandy Creek, Dement Creek-South Fork Coquille River, Myrtle Creek). The communities of Bridge and Remote are located within the Project Area, and the town of Myrtle Point is located less than three miles from the western edge of the Project Area.

What's New

The Bureau of Land Management Myrtlewood Field Office has issued a decision record for the King Salmon Timber Sale. This decision authorizes 30 acres of variable retention regeneration harvest in the Harvest Land Base land use allocation. The Decision record was posted to ePlanning on Sept 2, 2026, which initiates the 30-day appeal period. Appeals must be filed in accordance with applicable regulations and must be received by the normal close of business on October 2, 2026.
