OK I had to say something about this subject. Why? There are way too many ads saying firewood for camping.
If you are camping on any Public Lands in the United States there are specific federal, state, regional and county laws that regulate if or how you can collect firewood and if and where you can bring your firewood to and from. This may also include construction lumber, painted or stained lumber and certain species of trees and shrubbery that could be toxic to you or the environment.
The last thing you want to do is to get a big citation, have your firewood confiscated as evidence and then have to go to court and pay a big fine. Some cases carry Federal Charges that come with real consequences and, if it’s bad enough, jail time.
Before you collect or transport any firewood take five minutes to educate yourself to avoid any trouble with law enforcement.
Do that by going on your favorite search engine and search this…
“California State and Federal Regulations regarding the collection and transportation of firewood on, to or from public lands.”
This is a public service announcement to keep people from getting in trouble and help the environment.
For some unknown reason it is being repeatedly flagged… Probably by the firewood sellers.
Just because of that feel free to repost this wherever you see firewood posts.
