BLM Ely District announces temporary suspension of annual firewood sale
Event Description
ELY, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management Ely District will not be conducting a firewood sale for 2025. In previous years, the BLM Ely District has conducted an annual firewood sale offering cord units of mixed pinyon-juniper firewood to the public for $85 per cord. “There have been numerous positive comments from the community about the sale; however, the district needs to suspend sales this year due to issues with theft,” said District Forester Kellie Dobrescu.
