Don't Move Firewood!
Firewood Transport Rules were revised to improve regulatory compliance and enforcement. The existence of this regulation helps prevent firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian long-horned beetle from being transported throughout the state, destroying trees from one place to another.
