This is your National Forest and we need your help to ensure that the Personal Use Firewood cutting program continues by following these conditions:

• All campgrounds, picnic areas, administrative sites, and areas within 150 feet of streams, ponds and lakes are closed to cutting.
  
• Maximum stump height is 12 inches.


• Obey travel restrictions listed on the Fishlake National Forest Travel Map. This map is available at the local District Office.


• Obey all road closures. The purpose of road closures is to reduce the impact on the land that is incurred from vehicle use and to protect wildlife habitat.


• Never cut painted trees or within areas marked by orange, black and yellow timber sale boundary signs and in log decks unless authorized to do so on the permit.
  
• It is recommended that the permittee have a standard shovel and a fire extinguisher (min. 8 oz) at the cutting site. An approved spark arrestor muffler must be mounted on power saws during the fire precautionary period of June 1 to September 30.

If you see this type of sign on a tree, please do not cut it!
