The Dixie National Forest is now issuing fuelwood permits online. Permits are valid through December 31st and may be purchased online anytime by visiting the Dixie National Forest e-Permit Website or in-person at your nearest District Ranger Office.
Cost & Reminders
The cost of fuelwood permits is still $5 per cord with a four-cord minimum purchase. The maximum removal limit is 12 cords per individual permit holder per calendar year. Fuelwood permits are required prior to collecting or removing any forest product, including fuelwood, from U. S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service lands. Permit holders must possess a physical copy of the load tag while gathering firewood and note the number of cords collected until the permit is filled. If purchasing online, be sure to print the load tag before heading out to the forest.
Firewood maps for each district are available on the Dixie National Forest’s Forest Products Permits webpage.
