    There’s no need to clean up the natural parts of the pit area. The ashes is a good natural ferilizer, the stones and firewood can be used by other campers. If not, they will be populated by smaller animals like insects after a while again. It’s much more important no to pollute the pit area with the stuff _you_had with you: packing material, tins, bottles and so on…
