Idaho Fish and Game is selling firewood permits for the harvest of dead and dying timber on the Craig Mountain Wild Life Management Area. Permit sales are now underway and will end October 1st or in the event of a Stage 2 fire restriction. Areas open to harvest include Fish and Game owned land within 100ft of open roads. Some gates will be opened to allow better access.
Firewood permits must be with wood cutters while harvesting trees and can be obtained at the Fish and Game office in Lewiston 3316 16th St. Permits cost $10 per chord and are limited to 5 chords. Just a reminder, 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 their own permit. Harvesters are not allowed to drive vehicles off the main roads. Violations will be strictly enforced.
For more information, please call: Idaho Department of Fish and Game Lewiston office at (208) 799-5010; the Idaho Department of Lands Craigmont office at (208) 924-5571; or the Bureau of Land Management office in Cottonwood at (208) 962-3245.
