These sites may be closed for some time as we work to assess and safely open them.<br>\u201cWe also want to remind the community that fallen logs provide valuable habitat for our wildlife and that you can only take fallen or felled wood from designated domestic firewood collection areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Designated domestic firewood collection areas are currently closed in the Wombat State Forest, however, alternative collection areas can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ffm.vic.gov.au\/firewood\/firewood-collection-in-your-region\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.ffm.vic.gov.au\/firewood\/firewood-collection-in-your-region<\/a><br>&#8220;While we understand the desire to help crews and collect wood from fallen trees following the storm, falling trees, branches and hidden power lines still pose significant safety risks to the community, as well as emergency crews working to restore road access and power,&#8221; Mr English said.<br>\u201cWe will look at future opportunities to sustainably provide excess fallen wood for community use, however, our first priority remains clearing hazards and addressing threats to life and safety that have been caused by these extreme events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\"
