Bitterroot Forest Has Free Permits for Firewood Cutters
Winter s pretty much over, so it s time to think about next winter, right? The Bitterroot National forest knows that harvesting firewood from the national forests happens year-round, so they want to let you know that you need a free permit to do it.
Forest Supervisor Matt Anderson said the free permit will let the forest personnel track where the harvesting is happening and also let people know about wildfire safety and collection rules. He said, Although these permits are normally offered with a nominal fee, we feel it is important to continue offering free firewood to the public this year. We just ask folks to follow the conditions and requirements listed on their permits and be respectful of other forest users and our natural resources.
