Please help us protect our Trees!
Just a friendly reminder to buy it where you burn it!
How far is too far to move firewood? And what do you mean by “local” firewood?
When we say local firewood, we are referring to the closest convenient source of wood that you can find. That will likely be right on-site at the campground, down the street, or at a nearby convenience store. As a very general rule of thumb, 50 miles is too far, and 10 miles or less is best!
But why? Tree-killing insects and diseases can lurk in or on firewood. These insects and diseases can’t move far on their own, but when people move firewood, they can jump hundreds of miles. New infestations destroy our forests and can be costly to control.
But also, why would you want to lug firewood when your campground can conveniently deliver it to your site😉
