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.
For more information, stop by the
Natural Resources office or call Natural
Resources Manager Mike Kennedy at 800-
922-1399, ext. 1232, or 541-444-8232.
