Two areas now open for Tribal member firewood cutting The Natural Resources Department now has two areas open for Tribal member personal use firewood cutting. The Logsden Road unit (located just east of Siletz) is open seven days a week. It has a mixture of alder, hemlock and some fir. The Sam Creek #4 unit (9½ miles from Siletz) is open by appointment on weekends only. It has larger fir and spruce on three landings. Permits are required and can be obtained at the Tribal Natural Resources office in the Tribal admin building in Siletz from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on week- days. Maps and directions are also avail- able at the same location. Permits will be issued to Siletz Tribal members only, who will need to show their Tribal ID card and provide the license number of the vehicle they will use to haul the wood. Out-of-the-Siletz-area woodcutters can call the numbers below to have a permit mailed to them. The permits are for Tribal member woodcutting for personal use only. This firewood cannot be sold. The person named on the permit must be present when cutting and hauling the firewood. Tribal members wishing to cut wood for Tribal elders must present a signed note from the elder stating that the individual is authorized to cut firewood on their behalf when requesting a permit. The note must include the elder’s Tribal ID number. Permits are good for four weeks and allow up to two cords of wood to be cut on each permit. Each Tribal member is allowed up to five cords total per year from Tribal firewood units.
