An early morning sting involving police, park rangers and timber workers has led to seven people being charged over alleged illegal firewood gathering in a reserve in southern Tasmania.
In a statement, police said a 33-year-old man from Oakdowns, near Hobart, was charged with 11 counts of trespass and 11 counts of stealing after he was allegedly caught in the Tin Pot Marsh Creek Reserve at Woodsdale cutting firewood at 4am on February 7.
