The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is selling firewood permits for the harvest of dead and dying timber on the Craig Mountain Wildlife Management Area. The sale is underway and will end October 31st. Areas open to harvest include fish and game owned land within 100ft of open roads. One gate will be opened to allow better access.
Firewood permits must be with wood cutters during harvest and can be obtained at the IDFG office at 3316 16th St. in Lewiston. Permits cost $10/cord and are limited to 5 cords.
Firewood cutters are reminded that since the Craig Mountain Wildlife Management Area has several different landowners, individuals cutting wood must have the correct permit depending on where they harvest. Each agency has it’s own permit and harvesters are not allowed to drive vehicles off the main roads. Violations will be strictly enforced per Idaho Administrative Code.
