The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and Gifford Pinchot National Forest will host a firewood cutting event at Tracy Hill, near White Salmon the next two weekends.  The event provides valid permit-holders with firewood while removing flammable woody materials from forest lands that were treated as part of fuels management activities.  The wood includes seasoned Douglas-fir in a range of sizes, easily accessible from decks and other piles of pre-cut rounds.  Wood quantities are limited and not guaranteed.  Gifford Pinchot National Forest firewood permits, which cost $20 per cord, are required, with a maximum purchase of six cords.  Advance purchase of permits are available at the Mt. Adams Ranger Station in Trout Lake, Home Valley Store, Wind River Market in Carson, and Main Street Convenience Store in Stevenson.  Permits will be available on-site on Saturdays.  Gates to the site will be open 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays both weekends.  A map to the Tracy Hill site and more details are available on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest website.
