Come to last Cut Wood for the Elders Day The Tribal Natural Resources Committee and Natural Resources Department will sponsor the last Cut Wood for the Elders Day of the year on Saturday, Sept. 17. 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! 2022 Elk Tag Drawing Info The annual drawing for the Tribe’s elk rifle tags will be held Monday, Oct. 3, at the virtual Natural Resources Committee meeting.
