Recreational Use on IEP Property

NOTICE: For the public’s safety, Blanchard north  gates along the Blanchard Highway are closed and will remain closed until Spring 2024 due to the Oregon Elk Fire and salvage operations. 

Welcome to IEP timberlands! As active members of our community, we are committed to providing recreation to the public from our working forest.  A working forest is one in which a variety of amenities are produced, such as wood products, wildlife habitat, clean water, and recreation.  Help us continue providing this social benefit by respecting the land, wildlife, and other visitors.

Please be alert while visiting the forest. There are unforeseeable hazards such as wild animals, slippery rocks, and sudden weather changes – the list is nearly endless.  In addition, there are active logging and hauling sites on our working forest which visitors may encounter.  For the safety of yourself and others, please avoid these active work sites, and use caution when visiting more remote areas.
