Firewood Collection for Home Use
Tennessee State Forests offer dedicated areas where Tennessee residents may collect firewood for home use with a free permit. Maps depicting these areas are linked on each forest's webpage and below. The maps include the phone number to call for a free firewood collection permit.
Potential collection areas include:
- Along certain roadsides within 100 feet of the road.
- In and around designated forest cemeteries.
- Old log landings from completed timber sales.
- Other areas as designated by State Forest personnel.
