State Warns Hunters Not To Move Firewood Into Upper Peninsula

Hunters can help stop the spread of the emerald ash borer (EAB) in Michigan by leaving firewood at home and buying it after they reach their destination.

Moving firewood can spread EAB, putting Michigan's 700 million ash trees at risk. Aquarantine is in place that prohibits the movement of all non-coniferous (hardwood) firewood out of quarantined areas.

The movement of non-coniferous firewood into the Upper Peninsula is illegal.
