Title: fire wood?
Post by: ldizzle_Sks on February 18, 2008, 08:24:35 PM
I was told last time by some people at lake delancey that its legal to cut down trees for fire wood in the ONF. This seemed odd so just making sure if its legal, or does it only apply to down trees

Thanks

Downed trees only. You must be driving a green truck to cut down a live one.

In Ocala National Forest you are only allowed to take "dead and down" trees for firewood.             
That is there policy.

When I was there last it seemed as though the forest service has been out with there chain saws quite aggressively cutting down perfectly good healthy trees and putting them right in front of all the good trails that we used to be able to ride on.

Do you suppose that is an attempt to block 99 percent of the riding that we used to enjoy in our public National Forest , or is it possible that our government just might be doing something positive for us taxpayers who own this forest , by providing us with some firewood for our camping enjoyment ?
