A 2.5-acre section on Lickstone Ridge has been marked for tree removal to connect two wildlife openings.
If you’re interested in obtaining materials such as firewood, logs, or artisan wood products before cutting begins please contact:

Josh Parris, Forestry Manager: (828) 359-6260 Cell: (828) 508-5340
Malia Crowe-Skulski, Forestry Administrative Officer: (828) 788-2999

Boundary trees and trees designated to remain will be clearly marked. Please contact our office in advance so we can explain the markings and provide directions or a map to the site.
Tree cutting is scheduled to begin on August 24. After this date, remaining material will still be available; however, trees will be on the ground rather than standing.

Please note that a four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed to access the site.
