The public is invited to cut up and remove certain downed trees at Tippecanoe River State Park for firewood.
Trees eligible for firewood have fallen as a result of natural causes or have been dropped by property staff for safety. They are along roadsides or in public areas such as campsites and picnic areas.
Permit sales and cutting begin Feb. 2 and end March 20.
The cost of one pickup-truck load is $10. A load is defined as an 8-foot standard pickup truck bed without any modifications including sideboards. Additional charges will be incurred for a larger truck and trailer load. All proceeds will be used for resource management and restoration efforts at the park, including replacement of trees in campgrounds and other public areas.
A firewood permit must be obtained for each load at Tippecanoe River State Park’s office between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
Permits are not available on weekends and observed state holidays. Wood may be cut and removed between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. ET daily. For more information, call 574-946-3213.
