Firewood collection for public land closing Sunday 30 June

Firewood collection areas will close from Sunday 30 June.

Once this date has passed, you cannot legally collect firewood from state forests and public land.

Penalties apply if you are caught collecting firewood outside the designated collection seasons or areas.

Firewood collection areas will reopen in spring on Sunday 1 September.

Remember, wood that has been collected now or during spring needs at least a year to dry before it can be used in the fireplace.
