When lighting a camp fire please remember:

• conserve fallen timber as this is important habitat for wildlife
• bring your own firewood or restrict collection of firewood to the firebreaks that run along the edge of some tracks
• do not cut standing trees
• use fire rings where provided
• always construct your camp fire at least four metres away from existing vegetation
• when a fire is alight you must stay with it, and ensure that you have enough water to put it out
• ensure fires are completely extinguished before leaving your camp site.
