Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests Offer Firewood Permits for Online Purchase

Firewood permits for the Medicine Bow-Routt 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 the need to travel to your local Forest Service office.

“We are pleased to announce that this online service is available for use on our Forests,” said Russ Bacon, Forest Supervisor. “Cutting of firewood is popular on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, so the more options we can provide for the public to engage in this activity, the better. We are confident that the public will appreciate this digital option.”

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 visit our Forest Product Permits website.

Traditional firewood permits will still be available to purchase at local Forest Service offices, except for our Walden, Colo. office. Currently, the only way to obtain Special Forest Product Permits other than firewood (transplant, mushrooms, herbaceous plants, ferns) is in-person.

Standard program information and pricing for firewood on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests remains unchanged. Firewood permits are purchased in one cord increments for $5 per cord, with a minimum four (4) cord purchase ($20) per transaction. Ten cords per Permittee per year are allowed.
