Best Practices for Using Firewood this Fall---Chillier days are on the horizon and fall activities are in full swing! Before you build a bonfire under the stars with friends and family or cozy up next to your woodburning stove on a crisp autumn day, it is important to know how to responsibly use firewood.

Help stop invasive pests and diseases from hitching a ride to a new area by following these quick tips from the New York State firewood regulation:Untreated firewood may not be imported into New York from any other state or country.

Untreated, New York-grown firewood must stay within a 50-mile radius of its source of origin.

If transporting untreated firewood and your destination is within 50 miles, you must fill out a Self-Issued Certificate of Origin.

If purchasing and transporting untreated firewood, it must have a receipt or label that identifies the firewood source; hold onto your receipt until all the firewood is burned. MORE AT Firewood and Invasive Pests - NYSDEC
