Located in northern Klamath County near the community of Gilchrist, it is to be officially dedicated on June 11, 2010.[1] The forest sits along U.S. Route 97 and will be {{convert|70000|acre}} in size. HistoryOriginally owned by the Gilchrist family and their logging company, the land in what became the state forest was sold to Crown Pacific Partners in 1991.[2] Crown Pacific Partners struggled financially under a large debt load and filed for bankruptcy in June 2003.[3] Creditors took over their remaining assets in December 2004 and created Cascade Timberlands, LLC.[3] Fidelity National Timber Resources purchased the forests that became the state forest from Cascade Timberlands in 2006, with Fidelity being a subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial.[4][5][6] The Oregon Board of Forestry approved the purchase of {{convert|43000|acre}} of the Fidelity lands in Central Oregon in February 2010.[2] The $15 million deal was for land with young pine trees, and was designed in part to prevent future development of the area.[2][7] Fidelity's CEO at the time was developer Bill Foley, whose holdings included Whitefish Mountain Resort in Montana.[5] Oregon Lottery funds were to be used to secure bonds for the purchase of the land.[2] The deal was finalized in March 2010, and the state of Oregon took title to the lands that month.[7] Additionally, the non-profit group The Conservation Fund was to buy {{convert|25000|acre}} of adjacent land to prevent its development and eventually sell to the state once state funds became available.[2] Both the state owned lands and the non-profit owned lands were to be managed by the state as the {{convert|70000|acre|adj=on}} Gilchrist State Forest.[7] The timber on the lands will not be large enough to harvest for several decades, as the land was logged in the early 1990s.[6] Once logging resumes, the majority of the revenues will go to Klamath County.[6] A dedication ceremony is set for June 11, 2010 to officially open the new state forest.[6] DescriptionGilchrist State Forest is about {{convert|45|mi|km}} south of the city of Bend along U.S. Route 97.[1] It consists mainly of young lodgepole and ponderosa pine trees.[8] Once mature, an estimated 13 million board feet of timber should be logged each year.[8] Gilchrist is the first Oregon state forest dedicated since 1948 when Sun Pass State Forest opened.[8][9] See also
