Show Firewood permits increased Recent action by the Board of State Lands and Forestry raised the minimum permit fee for firewood and other small forest products to $10. David Schen, program specialist for State Lands and Forestry, a division of the Utah Department of Natural Resources, said the increase minimum fee applies to post, poles, wild ornamentals, Christmas trees and desert plants as well as to firewood. Last year's minimum fee was $5. Pinyon and juniper will be sold from designated areas at the rate of $3 a cord for quantities larger than those covered by the minimum fee. All other species will cost $5 a cord. Permits and additional information are available from Division of State Lands and Forestry offices in Salt Iake City, Logan, Vernal, Moab, Richfield and Cedar City. |
