Idaho Fish and Game is selling firewood permits for the harvest of dead and dying timber on the Craig Mountain WMA. The sale will begin July 25th 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 (see map below).
Firewood permits must be with you during harvest and can be obtained at the Fish and Game office in Lewiston at 3316 16th St. Permits cost $10/chord and are limited to 5 chords. Just a reminder, since Craig Mountain WMA 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 per Idaho Administrative Code 13.01.03.19.
