Massive wildfires devastate tribal timberlands

Wildfire has burned more than 20 percent of the land managed for timber on the Colville Reservation, leaving a hole in the tribes’ budget.

Commercial timber revenues usually make up about $10 million of the approximately $45 million annual operating budget for the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation.
