Forest Service announces availability of
firewood permits |
March 26, 2018 |
Firewood permits for the 2018-2019 season will
be available beginning April 2, 2018 on the
Idaho
Panhandle National Forests. A Personal Use
Firewood Permit is required if you wish to take
firewood home. Gathering wood for a campfire
does not require a permit.
Fuelwood permits are $20 for a minimum of four
cords. Permits are available at any of the Idaho
Panhandle National Forests Ranger Stations,
Supervisor’s Office, and some local vendors. For
more information, please contact your local
Forest Service office or visit the webpage at
https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/ipnf/home.
Visitors traveling on forest roads are
encouraged to be mindful of changing conditions
and snow at higher elevations. Excessive
snowmelt causes road shoulders to be “soft” and
unstable. Please avoid driving on soft roads and
be aware that out sloped icy mountain roads can
increase risk of sliding off the road,
particularly when passing another vehicle.
