The public is invited to cut up and remove certain downed trees at Tippecanoe River State Park.
Trees eligible for firewood have fallen as a result of natural causes or have been dropped by property staff. They are along roadsides or in public areas such as campsites and picnic areas.
Permit sales and cutting both begin on Jan. 4 and end on Feb. 26, 2021.
The cost of one pickup-truck load is $10. All proceeds will be used for resource management and restoration efforts, including replacement of trees in campgrounds and other public areas.
A firewood permit must be obtained at the park’s office, which is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Permits are not available on observed state holidays.
Wood may be cut and removed from 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily. For more information, call (574) 946-3213.
Firewood cut at Tippecanoe River State Park is for personal use only and cannot be sold.
