February 7, 2020 · Source: National Park Service
The National Park Service is offering an opportunity to community members to collect wood rounds piled in a pre-designated area with value as firewood or for other uses. A limited number of households (approximately 10) who reside within a 50-mile drive of Bar Harbor, Maine will be allowed to gather this wood. This is soft wood only, in piles of un-split, limbed rounds of 16”-20” diameter. Wood permits costing $25 will be issued for the collection of this pre-gathered wood with a maximum of two cords.
