Committee approves timber sale awards for 21 tracts; all but one sold
Summary
Price County approved timber sale bid awards covering 21 tracts; staff reported that 20 tracts sold and that prices were lower than last year amid greater supply and lower demand. Committee members noted access can affect sale prices.
The Price County Forestry & Parks / Buildings & Grounds Committee approved timber sale bid awards for 21 tracts during its May 5, 2026 meeting. Forestry staff reported that 20 of the 21 tracts were sold and recommended acceptance of the awards.
Forestry and Parks Administrator Joe Grapa told the committee the department manages about 92,000 acres of county forest and that market conditions produced lower prices this year. Grapa said access to individual sale sites can materially affect the price bidders offer. Committee member Jordan Spacek moved to approve the awards; Michelle Drobnik seconded and the motion carried.
The committee did not provide a published tally of bids or individual sale proceeds during the meeting; the timber sale bid award records are on file with the Forestry and Parks Department.
