Firewood Areas

Firewood collection areas should be established on maps and records after it is clear that no conflicts exist with other forest users.

Firewood collection areas should be posted with signs indicating that the areas are available for firewood cutting and that permits are to be obtained from the District Manager.

Firewood collection areas should be inspected regularly to determine the amount of usable firewood remaining and new areas should be located when the remaining amount is very small.

Firewood collection areas may be rendered temporarily inaccessible because of spring breakup, fire hazard, snow, etc.

Wildlife Trees

Firewood collection areas should be inspected for the presence of wildlife trees. Any trees with a potential to serve as wildlife trees should be posted with the conspicuous yellow diamond sign.

A copy of the brochure Firewood - or Wildlife Tree should be given to each recipient of a free use permit for the collection of firewood.
