• Firewood can harbor invasive species such as emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, and oak wilt that harm Minnesota trees. Firewood restrictions help prevent the introduction or spread of damaging invaders.
• It is against the law
to bring unapproved firewood into any state park, state forest or day-use area. If you'd like a recreational fire in one of these settings, find a DNR buy your wood from the state park where you are camping or a DNR approved firewood vendor. Be sure to keep your receipt to show proof of purchase.
