If you want firewood, don't pick it up!
With the temperature getting lower and lower, the price of firewood is getting higher and higher, many friends like to go out and pick up some firewood when they are free, but please note that this is illegal in South Australia!
The whole of South Australia is not allowed to pick up firewood by the roadside unless approved by your district council, (council).
As a general rule, national parks, ordinary parks, and even roadsides with flowers and plants are not allowed to pick up firewood casually.
"the roadside is home to many animals, and its importance is similar to that near the park." Environment, Water, and Natural Resources Secretary Barry Hayden said during a guest visit to the program.
In addition, the local council, (local councils), usually patrols and punishes people who pick up firewood by the side of the road, Barry Hayden said.
"you are likely to be fined up to A $1000."
1000 Australian dollars? You can buy a lot of firewood, right?
What about wood?
In addition to buying this option from a commercial company, owners can collect dead wood from their property boundaries. Don't worry, it's okay, it won't be prosecuted.
"if you get permission from someone else to collect dead wood in their real estate, it's also a good choice."
But Barry Hayden suggests that those hollow dead trees should not be picked up because they can be used as a habitat for many local animals.
In addition, Barry Hayden told us that if you want to collect dead wood from other people's residential boundaries, it's best to pick out after extreme bad weather, such as storms. At that time, very few people would refuse you, after all, everyone would like you to help them clean up the yard.
Finally, Barry Hayden suggests that if you really want to pick up some firewood to burn home, check with your district committee to see where you can pick up firewood without breaking the law.
