Do not cut standing trees

McKenzie District protecting standing trees

Personal use firewood cutting does not apply to standing or dead trees on the McKenzie River Ranger District, despite a press release from the Willamette National Forest that applied to other areas. The McKenzie District's restriction is designed to protect both wildlife habitat and the safety of individual firewood cutters.

Firewood cutting information and guidelines are available at https://go.usa.gov/xvrDp. Handouts will also be made available to pick up from the front doors of the respective ranger district. For further information, email to: sm.fs.mf@usda.gov or call the McKenzie River Ranger District, 57600 McKenzie Hwy. in McKenzie Bridge, (541) 822-3381.
