Firewood Program: 

Wood generated by the City of Boulder’s forest management operations is made available to the public, at the OSMP South Boulder Creek West Trailhead. The wood is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is usually on-site between the months of May and November.

Beginning July 15, 2013, due to recently enacted restrictions, wood pick-up will require users to sign a contract, pay an annual $15 administration fee, and get a gate key to access the wood.
