Personal-use fire wood cutting on the Uma tilla National Forest will be extended until Wednesday, November 30 to allow per mit holders two additional weeks to gather firewood for their homes. “ Woodcutting season was shortened this year,” said Kevin Martin, Forest Supervisor. Snow- pack in the mountains lim ited access to the forest in late spring and then extreme fire danger prohibited fire wood cutting for several weeks this summer. “Hope fully, if weather conditions allow, the public will have a few more weekends to fill their woodshed.” The public is asked to take additional precau tions when cutting firewood late into the fall when con ditions can be soggy and saturated. Mountain travel will require extreme care to avoid getting stuck or caus ing extensive and illegal resource damage to the land and vegetation. A nother concern for late season firewood cutting is the misidenti- fication o f live or dead western larch, also known as Tamarack. Larch is the Preschoolers from Heppner Day Care spent time with the only cone-bearing tree in residents of St. Patrick’s Senior Center on October 26. The pre the western United States Preschoolers treat elderly with visit Bill p that sheds its needles in the fall. “Because its nee dles turn yellow and fall to the ground, a living larch can appear to be dead, ' said Martin. Tips on identify ing live larch are located in the firewood guide that accompanies the firewood permit. Firewood permits can be purchased up until November 15 at forest of fices or at several local businesses in the commu nity. After November 15. permits will only be avail able, during regular work hours, at the five I matilla National Forest offices. Per mits cost $5 per cord w ith a minimum purchase of four cords for $20. A maximum purchase of 12 cords total, per household, is allowed from National Forest lands during the calendar year. Firewood cutting in Umatilla National Forest will not be available again until May of 2012.
