There will be an opening in the community forest for people to come out and collect free firewood for personal use on Saturday and Sunday April 22 & 23 starting at 9am. The location is up the new logging road across and just down from the Highway Shed on Gorge Harbour Road.
There are a few small piles of rounds already bucked, that could go to people who don't have the use of a chainsaw, but most of the logs are full length and need to be bucked.
If you don't have a chainsaw or pickup you can give your permit to someone else to go and get a load or two.
Provincial regulations require people to download and fill out a free use permit and have the permit in the truck that hauling your load. To download a permit and for more information any time visit the CFGP website at
