Show Protect yourself! Firewood permits required If you plan to harvest and transport tran-sport firewood or other forest producs from state, federal or private lands, you must have "Proof-of-Ownership" in your possession. Dave Schen, spokesman for the Utah Division of State Lands & Forestry, says the requirement is part ofthe 1983 Forest Products Transportation Act which also applies to other forms of native vegetation such as cacti, flora and shrubs not commonly thought of as forest products. "Proof-of-Ownership" is defined as possession of a contract, permit, bill of sale, cash register receipt or letter from a private landowner which includes the following: date of sale, legal or other description of sale areas, product and quantity purchased, species and purchaser's name and address. Schen says that if you purchase from the state, B.L.M., or U.S. Forest Service, you will receive the required permit along with information in-formation on how to get to the sale area. However, if you purchase from a private landowner, documentation bearing the landowner's signature is required.
