How do i Acquire a Firewood Cutting Permit for State Trust Lands?
We provide the opportunity for the public to cut firewood in approved areas on forested state trust lands. Downed wood appropriate for firewood is located at recent timber harvest sites. Purchasers of trust lands timber sales are using more of the branches and materials left after trees are harvested, so opportunities for personal firewood cutting are limited.
Also, it is important to remember that we manage for habitat as well as revenue production, and snags, downed wood and stumps are important habitat components under our State Trust Lands Habitat Conservation Plan, so please follow instructions on your permit as to where and what to cut.
