Farm News: Don't Pack Firewood with your Hunting Gear

comments

Posted: 11.12.2010

Gun deer season is just around the corner, but DATCP wants to remind you to use caution with firewood.  Don't move it out of areas quarantined for the emerald ash borer.  Moving a bundle of wood might cost you a bundle of cash.

Wisconsin's EAB quarantine restricts the movement of firewood from 11 counties in the southeast, southwest and northeast.  The counties include Brown, Crawford, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Vernon, Washington and Waukesha. 

Transporting firewood out of those counties could result in a fine of a couple hundred dollars or more.  Moving firewood out of some other state that's quarantined for EAB - Illinois, Michigan, or Ohio for example, could get you penalties in the thousands of dollars.
