PSA: Mountainair Ranger District Offering Fuelwood Permits
by Arlene Perea, U.S. Forest Service Mountainair Ranger District
Mountainair, NM – October 26, 2011: The Mountainair Ranger District will resume selling personal fuelwood permits beginning on Monday, October 31, 2011 at 8am. Permits will be a maximum/minimum of 4 cords for $20 and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Citizens who bought permits during our first round of fuelwood sales will not be eligible to buy permits for the first 3 days as the demand for first time purchasers is too high. Permits will only be sold at the Mountainair Ranger District. A photo ID will be necessary and the public will not be allowed to buy permits for others. The permits will be for dead/down Ponderosa Pine within the Thunderbird Ecosystem Management Area.
