Firewood Cutting Permits
A valid woodcutting
permit is required prior to personal use firewood cutting.
Wood is $5.00 per cord with a 3 cord minimum purchase,
permits may not exceed 10 cords per household per year.
Your local area forestry
office will have additional information, including
road conditions, and maps of wood cutting areas. All road
conditions are weather dependent.
Paper birch is the best
firewood from the boreal forest, followed by aspen, balsam
poplar and white spruce. Aspen and poplar seem to require
more time to season (dry). All firewood should season
from winter to fall to provide the most heat. Split the
wood and stack for seasoning in a sunny, well ventilated
place with roof or cover to shed precipitation. The drier
the wood is, the more heat it will produce.
Logging trucks are common. Please be
alert and give them right of way.
