People can be oddly respectful of wood piles. Back in autumn, I bought some cheap firewood and planned a burn at a local park (which has fire pits) with my girlfriend, but the weather didn’t work out in the end. We piled the logs next to the bathroom building, expecting them to disappear over time.
Months later, in very late winter, my girlfriend and I went back. To our absolute shock, the pile of firewood was still lying against the building, seemingly untouched.
The park is very popular, with events almost every weekend, even in the winter. I guess people saw the wood pile, assumed it was put there for some official purpose, and thought they shouldn’t touch it?
We ended up burning about half the logs that day. I wonder if the rest are still there.
I’ve left logs there before too and they’ve mostly been left untouched, though there have been signs of people visiting. However, I suspect those are mostly fishermen who come by boat and I bet many of them bring their own firewood.
I’ve been considering buying a cheap saw and an axe too and just leaving them there. Partly as a hint that they’re free to contribute.

And when my sister gets to a campground, the first thing she does is scavenge empty sites for firewood that was left behind.
