Put Another Log on the Fire
In North Idaho the wood stove
is still a staple of keeping warm. Wood burning fireplaces are standard
features in the most modest homes and magnificent mansions.
Locals know that Tamarack and red fir produce the
most heat when burned. Entrepreneurs with a pick-up truck
and a chain saw sell firewood by the cord or truckload.
Firewood is commonly measured in cords,
with a standard cord being tightly piled wood in a stack 4
feet wide and 4 feet high by 8 feet long. A personal use
firewood permit from the
Idaho Panhandle
National Forest costs $20 for
cutting up to four cords and $5 for each additional cord. A
permit is good for gathering firewood from the time of
purchase through March 31 of the following year. So put
another log on the fire as winter arrives in beautiful North
Idaho.
 The Perfect Christmas Tree
When you live in North Idaho the perfect Christmas
tree can be found in your own "backyard", the
Idaho Panhandle
National Forest. You can purchase a permit for Christmas
tree cutting from any office or by mail. A permit is required
for each tree cut and removed from National Forest Lands.
