Woodcutting permits on the Los Angeles River Ranger District are issued on a lottery system with names accepted year round. You cut and haul from the permitted area—wood is not cut and stacked for you. Chainsaws must be equipped with a spark arrestor. Permits for pine are $25.00 a cord and $35.00 per cord for hardwoods. Contact the Little Tujunga Office (818) 899-1900 for further information.
