Wood theft at Ski Trails Yurt
SEELEY LAKE – Firewood is being stolen from the Seeley Creek Nordic Ski trails yurt a little at a time. A lot of effort and volunteer work goes into collecting the firewood so those who use it in the winter have a warm place to rest.
The Ski Club has installed security cameras at the yurt and will be monitoring them. However, anyone with information regarding the wood theft(s) is encouraged to report it to law enforcement.
