Firewood permits available for $4 HARRISBURG - With more people turning to Pennsylvania’s state forests for firewood, 1960 could be another record breaking year for the number of firewood permits issued. The likelihood that this could be a banner year is based on the increasing number of telenhone inquiries, concerning the firewood program, being received by the Penn sylvania Department of Environmental Resources’ Bureau of Forestry. The calls are from people asking about the procuedure for obtaining a permit for cutting, or collecting, firewood and where it is available m the state forests. Many of the callers'are newcomers who have never ventured into the forests for firewood and believe much of it can be found along forest roads. Unfortunately, since the odslaught of the forests in 1979, wheli 33,555 permits were issued by the district foresters’ offices, there is little firewood lying about. Most of it has to be cut. (L I Generators Alternators Other features include a composite type chart on all bulls, new calving ease report, terminology section, and an index to help dairymen, locate specific bulls in the book. Within a couple weeks, Bair points out, Atlantic Technicians will also be distributing copies of the NAL Affiliated Breeders bull book for “color breeds” dairy sires-that is, Jersey, Guernsey, Brown Swiss, Ayrshire, and Milking Shorthorn offered through Atlantic’s service and semen sales program. During 1978 only 18,975 permits were issued. This was slightly over half the number distributed in 1979. 0. Lynn Frank, a forester in DER’s Division of State Forest Management, said, because of the increase, particularly in southcentral Pennsylvania, forestry staffs are liusy making undesirable timber for cutting. However this standing timber is generally green and will hot be suitable for burning this year. It will have to be stockpiled and allowed to dry for several months before it can be used as fuel. Frank noted some dead wood can be found in the forests of northcentral Pennsylvania, but there is a problem of accessibility- Most' of this fallen timber is deep in the forests. This year the price of each permit is $4. Each permit, obtained from the district office along with a map showing the location of the firewood, allows cutting, or collecting, one standard rough cord of firewood.
