Individuals camping on the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests are welcome to collect dead and down wood for their evening campfire without a permit. Individuals who wish to collect firewood on the national forests to burn at home or on private property must purchase a firewood permit. Firewood may only be collected in the designated areas provided with the firewood permit. Each firewood permit allows for the collection of up to 4 CCF (approximately four full-size pickup truck loads or four cords). The permit is valid for cutting dead and down wood only.
A standard firewood permit allows you to cut wood for personal use only. A special use permit may be required to collect firewood in bulk or for commercial purposes.
Permits may be purchased in person at your local district office or as an e-permit. If obtaining an e-permit, download collection area maps below.
