With cooler months still upon us, please remember that it is illegal to collect firewood from Travelling Stock Reserves (TSRs). 

TSRs are an extremely important refuge for many rare and endangered native plants and fallen logs and standing dead wood can be part of their habitat. Decaying timber and leaf litter are also important in the process of nutrient recycling back into the soil.

Dead standing trees and fallen timber on the ground may just look like debris, yet they are vital habitat. Hollows can take over 100 years to form and can be destroyed in minutes when used for firewood.

While firewood collection is not permitted on TSRs, members of the public can still apply for a permit to collect firewood from selected state forests.
