First 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 Saturday, July 16. The
woodcut will be held on the Tribe’s Logsden Road Property to the right of the Tribal
food distribution warehouse 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.
Even if you don’t have any of those, we can use the moral support! Lunch, drinks and
snacks will be provided. We will start at 8 a.m. and go until around 2 p.m.
The goal of this event will be 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 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 should also contact the Elders Program
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! Be sure to mark your calendars for the final woodcut
of the year on Sept. 17.
