Firewood can harbor many different kinds of invasive pests and diseases that are harmful to Iowa's trees. Asian long horned beetle, emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, oak wilt, and sirex wood wasp are just a few pests that can be transported on firewood.

The spread of Emerald Ash Borer into uninfected areas has been done primarily through the movement of firewood.

 Firewood, please declare out of state firewood.
Warning Camper! Did you Know...

That certain areas within Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin are currently under a federal firewood transport quarantine established by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture to prevent the spread of emerald ash borer (EAB). It is felt that EAB may be resident in the wood and could be spread through firewood transport to un-infested areas like Iowa. It is in direct violation of the USDA APHIS quarantine for you to bring firewood from your state into Iowa.

Do not bring firewood from your state into Iowa.

Don't Move Firewood
