Firewood areas open in Bonner County
|

July 31, 2012 |
New opportunities for firewood cutting have
opened up on the Sandpoint Ranger District.
Between July 26 and August 20, 2012 the
following roads will be open for firewood
cutting: Road 1050 Grouse Mountain (Sagle), Road
630 B, B1, C, E (Cocolalla), Road 315 D Little
Black Tail, Road 278 F off 278 (Clark Fork side)
and Road 278 B, C, D off 278 (off of Bunco).
Each year Forest Service employees working on
the district evaluate different portions of the
forest in an effort to identify areas where
firewood collection would be especially
beneficial to the landscape and where there is
ample opportunity for members of the public to
gather wood.
These special areas are only open on a temporary
basis and are typically closed again for several
years until down and dead materials accumulate
again.
A Forest Service firewood gathering permit is
required for members of the public and can be
purchased from any Forest Service office in
north Idaho.
For more information please contact the
Sandpoint Ranger District Office at (208)
263-5111 or visit the
Idaho Panhandle National
Forests website. |
