The firewood season has been extended to Nov. 18 on account of fair weather and numerous "no chainsaw" days during the hot, dry summer, the Inyo National Forest announced on Friday, Oct. 26
Current supplies of firewood can be found in the Aqueduct area, as shown on the map provided with a purchased Fuelwood permit.
The Swall area near Witcher Meadows is now closed to cutting as all accessible wood has been removed.
The Mt. Whitney District has a special lottery cutting area at Horseshoe Meadows. Contact the Mt. Whitney Ranger Station at 760-876-6200 for more information.
