2022 Quarterly Income Report – Quarter 4
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources manages more than 600,000 acres of
state forestlands in Washington. State forestlands generate revenue that helps support
counties and local services. The lands are located in 21 counties, though the amount of
acreage of trust land varies considerably by county. This report provides county-specific
information regarding quarterly revenue from state forestlands.
ALL REVENUE1 distributed to Lewis County in Calendar Quarter 4 (October 1 -
December 31, 2022). Due to the specific date monies are received by the Department and the cutoff
dates used by the State Treasurer for wire transfers, the revenue for the current period may be different than
actual remittances received by the county.
ALL REVENUE1 accrued for Lewis County this calendar year, 2022, as of December
31, 2022. For reporting purposes, DNR follows the modified accrual basis of accounting per Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). Under this measurement focus, revenues are recognized and recorded when they
become both measurable and available, i.e., when invoiced.

There are two types of state forestlands: State Forest Transfer lands, and State Forest
Purchase lands.
1. State Forest Transfer Lands. These are lands acquired by counties through tax
foreclosures that were subsequently turned over to the state. The Department of
Natural Resources currently manages more than 538,000 acres of these forestlands in
trust for 20 counties. Revenue from State Forestlands is distributed in accordance with
RCW 79.64.110. Based on population, Skamania and Wahkiakum Counties have
different distribution requirements compared with other counties.
2. State Forest Purchase Lands. State-issued bonds were used to acquire certain parcels of
forestland from private owners. Typically, these forestlands had been logged and were
in need of active management. Allocation of revenue from these lands was determined
when purchase was authorized, as follows: 26.5 percent to the county in which the
property is located; 50 percent to DNR for management expenses; and the remaining
23.5 percent to the State General Fund.

the gross proceeds. Purchaser bids a delivered log value, per thousand board feet. The net value (after payment of harvesting costs) are estimates only until
the project is completed. Actual net value will depend upon the amount of timber volume harvested by sort. 2) Distribution occurs once all operations are
completed and the sale revenues and expenditures have been audited. Partial distributions may occasionally occur to provide revenue for the beneficiaries,
or to meet the statutory requirement to maintain less than $5 million in the Contract Harvest Revolving Fund at the end of each calendar year under RCW
