Firewood permits for the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest are now available online. The new E-Permit system eliminates the need to travel to a local Forest Service office or vendor to obtain a permit, the U.S. Forest Service says in a news release.
The permit allows you to harvest firewood in forest areas open for harvesting. Online permitting is meant to provide “flexibility and convenience,” making it easier for the public to comply with forest regulations.
Permits may be purchased at any time online through the USFS E-Permit page.
While the online option is new, permits will still be available at local Forest Service offices and participating vendors.
The Forest Service says it will “continue to refine and improve” the online permit system over the coming years and plans to add additional special forest product permits in the future.
