Forest Service Open Personal Use Firewood Season Permit Sales
Sonora, CA … With the U.S. Forest Service Fuelwood Season officially beginning Personal Use Fuelwood Permits are now available for purchase at Stanislaus National Forest offices until November 30. The U.S. Forest Service charges $25 for a two-and-a-half-cord permit, with a maximum purchase of 10 cords per household (Permit terms and federal regulations are strictly enforced). Although the Personal Use Fuelwood season begins today, some Forest roads are not scheduled to open until April 15 or later, as weather and road conditions allow. Additionally, the Rim Fire area remains closed to the public; however, there will be access to woodcutting in the closure area for a limited time.
When people come in for permits on the Groveland District, they will be directed to gather fuel wood at:
Diamond O Campground
Middle Fork Day Use Area
Carlon Day Use Area
Sweetwater Campground
Rainbow Pool Day Use Area
Lost Claim Campground
No other recreation or other use of the campgrounds or day use areas is allowed within the closure area, and no other cutting or gathering of fuel wood along Highway 120 within the Rim Fire area or other closed areas in the Rim Fire area is allowed.
Early season fuelwood cutters should plan to stay on the drier Forest roads. As the season continues, un-surfaced roads will gradually dry out, and become less vulnerable to damage. Driving on the drier roads helps to reduce maintenance costs and protects Forest resources. Fuelwood cutters are required to review and follow the terms specified on their permit, and to present their valid permit to Forest officers checking for compliance. Each chainsaw must be equipped with an approved, serviceable spark arrestor. A shovel and approved, serviceable fire extinguisher must be readily available at the cutting site. Also, when hauling firewood, the number of the load tags applied to the load must be clearly visible from the rear of the load.
The operation of chainsaws and power equipment is permitted only on “permissive woodcutting days,” and is prohibited on “negative woodcutting days” during periods of high fire danger. Before cutting firewood, fuelwood cutters must first call (209) 532-5601 for a pre-recorded message, or check at any open Ranger Station to find out if that day is a “permissive cut day.” Motor vehicle travel and parking is limited to one vehicle length (vehicle and trailer) from National Forest Transportation System routes. Only dead and down material may be taken, and all firewood must be cut less than 6 feet in length prior to hauling.
Woodcutters may obtain Personal-Use Fuelwood permits at all Stanislaus National Forest offices.
Groveland Ranger Station - Highway 120, east of Groveland (209) 962-7825.
Summit Ranger Station - Highway 108, in Pinecrest (209) 965-3434.
Calaveras Ranger Station - Highway 4 in Hathaway Pines (209) 795-1381.
Mi-Wok Ranger Station - Highway 108 in Mi-Wuk Village (209) 586-3234.
Sonora Forest Supervisor's Office - Sonora at 19777 Greenley Rd. (209) 532-3671.
The public may obtain Personal Use Fuelwood Permits through the mail. A permit application can be mailed to anyone who contacts a Forest office at the above listed telephone numbers. Additionally, woodcutting Information and a permit application is retrievable on the Forest website at http://fs.usda.gov/stanislaus
