Current South Lake Tahoe sites for permitted wood collection.
The California Tahoe Conservancy is currently offering free firewood-gathering permits through its Community Firewood Program. Cut wood is available at many different locations where trees have been cut on its properties to reduce fire risk and improve forest health.
Currently there are sites in Meyers are South Lake Tahoe.
Fuelwood is collected on a first come first serve basis. Once a permit is issued there is no guarantee that fuelwood remains on the sites listed on the map. The map is updated all season long with new locations.
Each permit is valid for up to two cords of wood, with a limit of one permit per household. The Conservancy asks the public to respect the safety of the crews conducting field work by not picking up the wood until crews have left the site. Crews will place rounds by the side of the road after treatment.
