Permit sales and cutting are permitted through March 15.
The cost of one pickup-truck load is $10. A load is defined as an 8-foot standard pickup truck bed without any modifications.
A firewood permit must be obtained for each load at Ouabache’s office between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Wood may be cut and removed between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Permits are not available on observed state holidays.
