U.S. Forest Service news alert: Permit required to collect firewood

From a press release:

Permit Required to Collect Firewood

ASHEVILLE, N.C., September 2014 — As temperatures begin to dip, many of us start thinking about heating our homes during the cold months. For some folks, this means stocking up on firewood for the fireplace or wood stove.

The national forests in North Carolina are among the places residents can go to obtain firewood for personal use. Each year, approximately 2,500 cords of wood are harvested from the Nantahala, Pisgah, Uwharrie, and Croatan National Forests.

“The collection of firewood is one of the many benefits that residents who live near the national forests enjoy,” said Dale Remington, timber sales forester with the National Forests in North Carolina.
