Firewood Cutting Policy

The intention of the firewood cutting program is to provide a supply of wood for personal use, not resale. The availability of firewood cutting areas and environmental conditions will determine when firewood permits will be issued.

• Only material completely on the ground may be cut. No standing or leaning trees may be cut down. Cutting is restricted to the assigned area.
• This property is not responsible for stuck or damaged equipment. We are not permitted to pull out stuck vehicles.
• Permits will be issued from 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. during regular office hours. Office will be closed on official holidays. We strongly advise calling our office at (765-342-4026) to check on availability before coming to the property.
• All wood cutters must vacate the area by 3:00 p.m. as the access gates will be locked at this time.
• A fee of $3.00 per rick (a stack of wood 4'x8'x16") will be charged for permits. Permits are valid for up to one week and no rain checks or refunds will be given.
• Each person will be limited to 20 ricks per calendar year.
• Failure to follow the above rules will result in the loss of future wood cutting privileges, loss of cut wood and possible legal action.
• No permits will be issued for less than $3.00.

Office will be closed on official state holidays.
