Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 16, 1982.

The arms show two trunk-hooks, a type of hook, normally on a long pole, to guide tree trunks through the rivers. The main economic activity in the municipality is forestry, hence the use of the hooks. The two hooks also represent the two villages Rødenes and Øymark.
