Woodcutting allowed in Lassen National Forest

The Lassen National Forest is lifting its suspension on woodcutting activity on Tuesday, but prohibits cutting after 1 p.m.

Shorter days, cooler temperatures, and higher nighttime humidity recovery have allowed for the lifting of the all-out suspension.

Officials said woodcutters should use extra care to avoid creating sparks that could lead to fire.
