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:

1. Do not bring firewood with you when you camp.
2. Buy firewood when you reach your destination.
3. Do not take any firewood with you when you leave. Burn it all or give it to other campers in the park.
