Firepit Rules & Information
Firewood from our Woodland is available for your use near the Gathering Place fire pit and Woodland Shelter House fire pit. You may need your own kindling and fire starter. Branches and twigs you find on the ground can be used as kindling. Please do not break off or cut branches on standing trees.
Fire pit fires are forbidden when the DNR burn restriction is at a high, very high, or extreme condition. Please visit WisBurn – Wisconsin to see the current condition.
Exotic and native forest pests such as Emerald Ash Borer, Asian Longhorned Beetle, and others cause serious damage to urban and natural forests in the United States. Therefore in keeping with the Dane County policy regarding the movement of firewood, do not transport any firewood to our property and do not take any of our firewood with you.
