Firewood Cutting Extended at Shades, Turkey Run
| Turkey Run and Shades state parks have extended the period the public can cut up and remove certain downed trees to March 28. Trees eligible for firewood have fallen as a result of natural causes or have been dropped by property staff for safety purposes. They are along roadsides or in public areas such as campsites and picnic areas. The cost of one pickup-truck load is $10. A load is defined as an 8-foot standard pickup truck bed without any modifications. A firewood permit must be obtained for each load at Turkey Run’s office, Nature Center, or entrance gate between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Permits are not available on observed state holidays. Wood may be cut and removed between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call 765-597-2635. Firewood cut at Turkey Run or Shades state parks is for personal use only and cannot be sold. -30- |
