Campfires and collecting firewood
Campfires can be a big part of any camping trip. In addition to knowing how to put out a fire, considering where our firewood comes from is an essential piece in having a Leave No Trace campfire. Firewood is a common carrier of invasive species.
To mitigate this risk, purchasing or legally gathering wood from the ecosystem where the campfire will be held is best. If collecting wood from the surrounding ecosystem is allowed, following the 4 D’s of wood collection will help us leave minimal environmental impact.
