Lolo National Forest

Passes and Permits

Firewood

Firewood permits are issued to individuals for private use. Commercial cutters must get a permit from the small sales administrator on the appropriate district.

A permit costs $5.00 per cord with a minimum purchase of 4 cords and a maximum of 12.

Permits are valid from March 31 of one year to March 31st of the next.

Firewood permits authorize an individual to cut and remove dead down trees and logs from National Forest and BLM lands.

There is a requirement in effect on the Lolo National Forest that firewood cutting, or related disturbance, is not allowed within 150 feet of any running stream, pond, lake, or wet areas to protect water quality and fish habitat.
