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!
