Timber Sales

Washburn County’s Timber Sales program plays a vital role in the sustainable management of our county forests. By conducting periodic timber sales, the county supports responsible forestry practices that promote healthy forest ecosystems, provide economic benefits, and ensure long-term resource sustainability. This page serves as a resource for timber sale information, including bid opportunities, sale bid results, and updates on available harvests. Whether you’re a logging professional seeking current opportunities or a community member interested in forestry initiatives, this page is your hub for staying informed about Washburn County’s timber sales activities. Please check back often for new Timber Sale opportunities.
