Looking for places to cut firewood?
USACE is seeking local individuals that are in need of areas to cut firewood for personal use. Interested individuals will be issued FREE permits to cut USACE marked trees in designated areas that are in need of forest management as well as removing undesirable trees. Species available for cutting are, but not limited to, mulberry, elm, ash, and locust. Cutting areas will be accessible by vehicle and are located throughout USACE Kanopolis public lands.
Selective thinning improves overall forest health and encourages growth of desirable native trees.
Firewood cutting of standing trees outside of this free permit program is prohibited.
For more information, please contact Tyler Clements at 816-389-2457.
