Second Firewood Opportunity Offered at Falls View Campground on March 6th
The Falls View Campground will be open for a second firewood collection opportunity on Friday, March 6th from 8am-4:30pm.
Gatherers must possess a valid firewood permit issued by the Olympic National Forest.
This second opportunity is being offered in response to interest from the community and to lessen the amount of debris needing to be removed. The ongoing hazard tree removal and campground restoration project within Falls View Campground made significant progress in 2019. The diseased trees leading to the campground’s closure in 2016 have been removed. The campground now contains large slash piles and downed trees that need to be removed before work to restore the campground can start.
For information on how to obtain a permit, please call the Quilcene Ranger Station at 360-765-2200.
Forest Service staff will be on hand to ensure compliance and answer questions.
Thank you!
