March 15, 2018 - The Mariposa County Department of Community Services Senior Firewood distribution season has officially concluded as of March 7, 2018.  We’ve estimated approximately 844 loads of firewood were distributed in South Mariposa County. I personally would like to take this opportunity to sincerely say, “THANK YOU” to the following entities and individuals for their valuable contribution in making the Firewood Distribution Program of 2017-18 an astounding success: 

  • CALFIRE Mt. Bullion Camp crews for bringing wood down to Mariposa and Greeley Hill from the higher elevations. The supervised crews cut, split, and stacked firewood year-round for north and south county distribution when not out working the fire lines;

  • Weekly supervised CALFIRE Mt. Bullion crews for loading firewood into senior adults’ pickup trucks or small trailers from October 2017 through March 2018. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Madera, Mariposa, Merced Division CALFIRE, in the firewood distribution program again this year!  Thank you to:  Nancy Koerperich, Unit Chief, Bernie Quinn, Division Chief, Capt. Stephen Meadows, & all the crews from Mt. Bullion.

  • Mariposa County Department of Human Services, Home Energy Assistance Program personnel for their referrals of senior and non-senior adults & families who were in need of firewood;

  • Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office for SCOPE volunteers; Roy Dunston is the lead contact for North County, distributing firewood to deserving seniors and many families in need. Approx. 150 cords have been distributed and they are still actively distributing every Monday (unless there is rain or snow). Roy can be reached @ (209) 878-3637.

  • Mariposa County FireSafe Council for their continued donation of beetle-kill, felled trees to the senior firewood program.

  • And finally, “thank you” to Merlin Jones, Supervisor District II, who generously donated a substantial amount of firewood for North County Mariposa residents.

Without the help from the county entities and individuals, this past firewood distribution season clearly would not have happened.  Again, “THANK YOU” for your contribution to our community, all involved have made a significant impact in the well-being of an individual and/or family this winter!
