FIREWOOD AVAILABLE AT SAND CREEK MASSACRE SITE

The Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site (NHS) is currently allowing residents of southeastern Colorado the opportunity to gather firewood at the site. Residents are reminded to bring their own pick up and trailer.

 Wood is located adjacent to the creek bed inside the park. The area is accessible from the dirt road running north and west from park headquarters.  Only downed cottonwood limbs may be removed from the area.  Prior to gathering, please check in at the park office for directions and a waiver form.  While there is no fee for the wood, donations to the park are appreciated.

 Firewood may be picked up between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm Monday through Friday until the end of November.  The park will close for the season on December 1, 2008.

For additional information please call 719-469-7728.
