Generally, removing firewood from a NSW National Park is prohibited but collection is permitted in select areas of Murray Valley National Park, Murrumbidgee Valley National Park and Yanga National Park between April 1 and September 30.
Firewood collection is allowed in state forests, and under permit where designated in the Riverina.
To collect firewood, you must obtain a permit that remains valid when collecting and transporting firewood.
Tree-felling is prohibited and firewood cannot be collected for sale or commercial use.
Areas selected for firewood collection depend on:
• the presence of sufficient wood to allow removal while maintaining ecological processes and cultural heritage values;
• adequate public access and safety;
• amenity for other forest users; and
• other regulatory requirements.
The areas may be revised from time-to-time in response to changing circumstances such as flooding and depletion of coarse woody debris.
