Help with Cut Wood for the Elders Day The Tribal Natural Resources Committee and Natural Resources Department will sponsor the first Cut Wood for the Elders Day of the year on May 21. The woodcut will be held on the Tribe’s Logsden Road property between the Tribal food distribution warehouse and the Tribal vehicle storage yard in Siletz. We need lots of volunteers to help cut, split and deliver firewood for Tribal elders. Bring your chainsaws, hydraulic wood splitters, splitting mauls, axes and lots of energy. Lunch, drinks and snacks will be provided. We will start at 8 a.m. and go until mid-afternoon. The goal of this event is to deliver firewood to as many elders as possible. The Elders Program maintains a list of elders who burn wood for their winter heat. People willing to haul firewood to elders outside of the Siletz area should contact the Elders Program clerk at 800-922-1399, ext. 1261, or 541-444-8261 to be paired up with an elder in need. We especially need folks who can haul wood to the Eugene, Salem and Portland areas. Elders in need of firewood also should contact the Elders Program clerk to get their name on the delivery list. If you have parents or grandparents who burn wood in the winter to stay warm, you need to help out at this event! Come help replenish those wood piles for the com- ing winter. Two other woodcuts are scheduled this year on July 16 and on Sept. 17.
