Firewood & Emerald Ash Borer . . .

IDNR is working in cooperation with other Midwestern states to stop the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an exotic insect that kills ash trees.
It is against State and Federal laws to transport firewood (other than pine) from quarantined areas where Emerald Ash Borer has been found.
Firewood CANNOT be brought into our Indiana state parks, reservoirs and state forests from any quarantined area.
Quarantined areas include all of Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and various counties within Indiana and other states (see link to map below).
Firewood from these locations will be confiscated and campers are subject to steep fines for violating the law!

Click HERE for a map of quarantined areas and more information about EAB.

Please help stop the spread of EAB ~ Thank you!
