DOLORES, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management’s Tres Rios Field Office is offering firewood permits for ponderosa pine logs to the public following work to clear the Tri-State Generation and Transmission’s right-of-way corridor west of Dolores.
The logs are in Dolores County near County Road 16. To obtain the firewood, the public must purchase firewood permits at the Dolores Public Lands Center, 29211 Hwy. 184. Permits are $8 per cord.
With logs being about 16 feet long, the public will need to bring a chainsaw to cut them into manageable sized pieces for loading.
Removing the ponderosa pine in this area was approved under an Environmental Assessment allowing Tri-State to upgrade its existing power line.
For more information, call the Dolores Public Lands Center at 970-882-7296.
