CENTRAL OREGON --  During the month of May, the Deschutes and Ochocos National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland is offering free firewood cutting. Cutters can take up to 4 cords of firewood for personal use only without obtaining a permit. The forest service plans to return to its regular process of issuing tags after this timeline but may extend it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Prineville BLM is not included in this initiative so for more info, contact the Prineville BLM office.
