Anyone wanting a piece of Yellowstone National Park, now's your chance.

The National Park Service will be accepting public requests for firewood collection permits to be issued this year.

Excess firewood is periodically available in Yellowstone for a variety of reasons, including fire fuel mitigation, wind events, construction projects or hazard tree removal.

People interested in applying for a permit are asked to phone 307-344-2116 through Sunday. They are instructed to leave their name and daytime telephone number.

After Sunday, names will only be accepted Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by calling 307-344-2107.

The firewood permits cost $25.
