Firewood Permits Firewood permits which allow individuals to collect scrap wood from Weyerhaeuser timberlands is available to members of the general public and Weyerhaeuser employees effective September 1, through June 1, according to Weyerhaeuser officials. Permits for 90 day periods can be obtained at the company’s Land and Timber offices in New Bern and Plymouth. Permits will be issued on Fridays only from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. Since the number of people requesting permits has greatly increased, it has become necessary to designate one day a week to issue permits. This will allow company employees to accomplish other tasks during the week and devote Fridays to assisting the public in obtaining permits. Weyerhaeuser firewood permits are good for scrap, non merchantiable wood available on harvested timberland sites. The permits identify the county and tract pumber for which the permit is valid. Designated firewood sites also have signs in the area to help the public identify proper collection areas. Gatherers are urged to observe safety rules. They must also cut only in designated firewood areas and leave live, standing trees uncut. Weyerhaeuser is glad to be able to assist the public with their energy needs by making this firewood available. At the same time, the company benefits by having this scrap wood removed. 1 Information on permits can be obtained from the Plymouth Land and Timber office by calling 793 - 8916 or the New Bern office at 633 - 7486.
