Minimise the impacts of fire

Fires can cause lasting impacts and be devastating to forests and natural habitats Therefore when picnicking or camping use a lightweight stove for cooking.

Where fires are permitted:

• Use established fire rings, barbecues or create a mound fire.
• Keep fires small. Only use sticks from the ground that can be broken by hand. Do not use growing vegetation for use.
• Avoid burning plastics or other substances: which emit toxic fumes.
• Burn all fires to ash, put out fires completely, and then scatter cool ashes or dispose of carefully.
