Firewood Program in the State Forests

Thank you for your interest in DEEP’s Homeowner Firewood Program. DEEP does not maintain an active firewood program. However, to assist in meeting the energy demands of the State, at times the Forestry Division has wood available that can be sold to meet the Division’s management objectives.

 A firewood permit is $30/cord with a 2-cord minimum. The wood is usually within 100 feet of a dirt road. A 4-wheel drive pickup truck may be needed.

Applicants need to wear Personal Protective Equipment, including chainsaw chaps, hard hat with eye and ear protection, and boots.

For more information or to be added to a list of interested applicants, contact deep.forestry@ct.gov
