Collecting firewood and craft timber from State forests

Timber for woodcraft, firewood and other domestic uses may be obtained from Forests NSW.

As firewood is the most commonly sought after product, this page focuses primarily on firewood.

In order to help protect the forest environment, Forests NSW controls the amount of firewood and other products collected and the areas available for collection.

Before removing any material from public lands, including State forests, the proper authorisations must be obtained.
