Firewood: The RI Department of Environmental Management urges all visitors to RI Campgrounds and Parks to help STOP THE SPREAD of nonnative insects and diseases.  Transporting firewood can also transport a number of insects and diseases that threaten the health of our forests.  Gypsy moth, emerald ash borer, and beech bark disease are just a few of the growing number of firewood hitchhikers that can kill large numbers of trees.

You can help by following these simple precautions:

·        Do not bring firewood with you when you camp.

·        Buy firewood when you reach your destination.

·        Don’t take any with you when you leave.  Burn it all or give it to other campers in the park.
