VICTORIA’S state forest firewood collection areas open on Saturday, March 1 for free personal use firewood collection. The autumn firewood season ends on Monday, June 30, but collectors are reminded individual collection areas may close earlier if there is no more firewood available.
Within designated collection areas, collectors can collect and cut wood that is on the ground due to natural fall or forest and fire management works. Heavy penalties apply to anyone who cuts down a tree, living or dead.
Maps of collection locations can be found at www.ffm.vic.gov.au/firewood/firewood-collection-in-your-region.
