DEC AND STATE PARKS TO CAMPERS: PLEASE USE LOCAL FIREWOOD: DEC and New York State Parks encourage campers to use local firewood and follow State firewood regulations to help prevent the spread of invasive species. Many people take campfire wood from their backyards or neighborhoods when heading out to a favorite camping spot, not realizing the untreated wood may be hiding the eggs, larvae, spores, adults, or even seeds of invasive threats. Hitching a ride on infested or infected firewood allows these pests to spread faster and farther than they otherwise could have. Before you go, note that New York State firewood regulations prohibit the following: • Bringing untreated firewood from other states or countries; • Transporting untreated firewood grown in the state more than 50 miles from its source or origin Regulations require that people carry source, origin, or treatment documentation whenever transporting firewood. • If you transport untreated firewood, it must have a receipt or label that identifies the firewood source. • If purchasing and transporting heat -treated firewood, it must have a receipt or label that says, "New York Approved Heat -Treated Firewood/Pest Free." • Heat -treated firewood may be moved in an unrestricted manner.
