Firewood permits now available for Mendocino National Forest

MENDOCINO CO., 4/1/19 — Permits for individuals to collect “fuelwood” from the Mendocino National Forest are available starting April 1 at a number of different National Forest Service locations and by mail. Permits at $5 per cord of wood collected; individuals can collect up to four cords of wood.

All wood collected must be dead and downed, and a permit is required to remove any wood from the forest. Visitors to the forest should be aware of the ongoing closure of certain areas due to the Ranch Fire, and also take precautions not to spread sudden oak death.
