Three men have been reported for the theft of firewood at Glencoe last month.
In May, a large living red gum tree was cut down within a section of native habitat near Lake Edward, Glencoe.
Police will allege that on August 3, three men cut sections of the tree and removed it for use as firewood.
A 20-year-old Millicent man, a 22-year-old Millicent man and a 23-year-old Mount Gambier man were all reported for theft of red gum wood.
The 22-year-old was also reported for the theft of two trail cameras.
They will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
