Firewood Permit Sales

Upcoming Firewood Sales

Sales are held at Hall Ranch outside of Lyons on specified dates. Each permit, or ticket, costs $10 and is good for one truckload of wood. So whether your truck can carry a ½ cord, or a whole cord, buy one ticket for each truck you plan on bringing. Trailers are not permitted due to adverse road conditions.

The firewood supply at Hall Ranch is dwindling quickly. The sale on Friday, Aug. 3 will likely be the last at this location this year. Note that we have decreased the number of tickets per sale for Aug. 3 so that we do not oversell tickets for the amount of wood available. The remaining logs are LARGE and HEAVY, so a chainsaw (with all required personal protective equipment) is highly recommended.

Refunds will not be given. Please read all details before purchasing.
