Jerome, Idaho — Firewood permits for the Sawtooth, Boise and Payette national forests are now available for purchase through a new online E-Permit system.  Permits may be purchased by computer or mobile device any time, eliminating traveling to your local Forest Service office.  

"Our forest management staff, in conjunction with the Boise and Payette national forests, has worked diligently to leverage technology to expand customer service to our stakeholders," said Forest Supervisor Casey Johnson. "We understand that people have busy schedules, and we are excited to provide yet another way for people to obtain firewood permits."

This new service provides flexibility and convenience to our forest users. To purchase a firewood permit or to learn more about permits and gathering firewood online at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/sawtooth/permits/firewood-permits. Traditional firewood permits will still be available to purchase at local Forest Service offices and participating vendors. 

The Forest Service will continue to refine and improve the quality of the online permit system and add additional special forest product permits in the future.  For more information about the firewood program on the Sawtooth National Forest, please contact our Timber Program Manager at 208-423-7530.
