The area being opened encompasses the inter- section of County Road A1 with the zone bound- ary, Spaulding area, pro- ceeding south on A1 to the intersection of Forest Road 21, then proceeding west to County Road 105. From County Road 105, the boundary continues along 34N02 to the Mos- quito Flat drainage, north- west to the District bound- ary, following the District Boundary Back to County Road A1. This area is featured on the updated Fuelwood Cut- ting Map, available at the Eagle Lake Ranger District office, and woodcutters are urged to check the map to ensure that they are cut- ting in permissible areas. "The wind damage we had last winter forced us to close this part of the For- est," said Eagle Lake Dis- trict Ranger Matt Bois- seau. "Now that we have assessed most of the dam- age, we are opening up the areas not viable for timber sale to the public for wood- cutting." Woodcutting is not al- lowed in timber sale areas or other commercial oper- ations marked with "No Woodcutting" signs. The remainder of Zone V (5) north of Highway 44 will remain temporarily closed to allow timber salvage op- erators to capture any po- tential commercial value from the numerous wind- thrown trees on the site. Trees marked with paint outside of posted areas and may not be cut or re- moved, including those on the ground, with the ex- ception of downed lodge- pole pine. Fuelwood cutters are reminded to stay on roads and trails, as traveling cross-country with mo- tor vehicles to scout for wood is prohibited. Even with a valid wood permit, woodcutters are allowed to leave a Forest road to gather firewood only if this activity does not harm natural resources. In some instances, driv- ers could be held liable for such damage. Woodcutters should call the 24-hour number, (530) 257-4188, to find out if any current restrictions apply. The price of personal wood permits remains $10 per cord, with a minimum purchase of two cords per permit. Multiple permits may be purchased up to a 10-cord limit. Personal use tags purchased on the Lassen National Forest are also valid on the Plu- mas National Forest and vice versa. Permits may be pur- chased at the Eagle Lake Ranger District office, 477- 050 Eagle Lake Road near the intersection of State Route 36 and County Road A-1, three miles west of Su- sanville. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, call 257-4188.
