Wood Cutting Permits to go on Sale in Kingman
With the arrival of fall, many people want to cut firewood for the coming cooler months. Wood cutting permits are required to harvest forest products from public lands, and are available at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Kingman Field Office, 2755 Mission Blvd, Kingman, Arizona. The permits go on sale Thursday, October 1, 2009, at 8 a.m.
“We have a limited number of wood cutting permits available this year,” said BLM Kingman Field Manager Ruben Sanchez. “The permits will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis in our office until they’re gone. This year we’ve added an additional stipulation to the wood cutting permit. People must sign in at a visitor’s register on site when they enter the wood cutting area and sign out when they leave. A map will be provided with each permit. The wood cutting area will be patrolled.”
The woodcutting permits cost $10.00 a cord with a maximum of two cords per household. The permits may be used for live or dead Pinyon Pine or Juniper (down or standing). Woodcutters are encouraged to make use of the many stumps remaining from previous woodcutting, as large standing trees are limited.
The permits are good from October 3, 2009, through December 20, 2009, and are only valid in the designated woodcutting area which is approximately 11 miles southeast of Truxton, AZ. A map to the woodcutting area and cutting rules are included with each permit.
For more information please call the BLM Kingman Field Office at 928-718-3700.
The BLM manages more land - 253 million acres - than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
