The Bureau of Land Management is offering $1 firewood permits to collect downed trees burned in the 2021 Dixie Fire on BLM-managed public land near the Chester Airport.
This low-cost permit provides individuals and families with the opportunity to collect their own firewood on public land for $1 per cord, while helping remove dead trees. Clearing these trees supports healthier, more resilient forests, and improves habitat for a variety of plants and wildlife.
Permit and Collection Details
Firewood permits for collection in this area can be purchased online at forestproducts.blm.gov and will remain available until all downed trees have been collected.
Those participating can find the designated collection boundaries on the Chester Airport Parcel Fuelwood Collection Area map, and woodcutters are reminded to please keep vehicles on existing roads at all times while collecting firewood.
Anyone with questions regarding the permits or boundaries can contact the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office at 1.530.257.0456.
