Firewood, Mushrooms, Post & Pole
Firewood for campfires on National Forest lands is free. A woodcutting permit is not necessary when collecting wood for a campfire. However, if the wood is being gathered for home use or if you plan to transport leftover firewood home, you will need to purchase a woodcutting permit.

Fall Prescribed
Burning and Hunting: Prescribed burning is a valuable tool for
wildland managers and is used to accomplish several goals. Most
often the goal is to reduce dead fuel accumulation which reduces
the risk of intense wildfire that can threaten communities and forest
habitats. Prescribed fire also replenishes the soil and stimulates
new nutritious browse and forage for wildlife.
Prescribed burning is highly dependent upon weather conditions such
as temperatures, wind speed, relative humidity, and fuel moistures.
Fall weather provides the best conditions for prescribed burning,
typically during the months of October and November. Check to see
if prescribed
burns are planned in you hunting area.
