Firewood Needed for Buttonwood M&G

[HappyCampers]

Thanks everyone...I'm just looking for a few members who would like to donate some firewood for the nightly fires at the group area. If you would like to help please post on this thread. Thanks.

We have some VERY well aged wood, so if we can remember to put it in the truck, we'll bring it.

In New York state you're not allowed to bring in non-local wood because of the danger of transporting bugs and disease..... any restrictions in PA? We'd be glad to contribute monetarily towards buying local firewood--also gathering kindling.

We'll be bringing wood. Not as much as last year, but a good amount.

I'll bring a few bundles of wood along as well.

Order

Under authority of Section 21 of the Plant Pest Act (act of December 16, 1992, P. L. 1228, No. 162)(3 P. S. § 258/21) the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture hereby orders the following:

1. The movement of firewood of all types and species into the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is prohibited. Firewood includes all wood, processed or unprocessed, coniferous or hardwood, meant for use in a campfire or other outdoor or indoor fire. This prohibition does not apply to the transportation of sawlogs, pulpwood or wood chips to facilities for processing into lumber, paper or manufactured wood products.
Examples of circumstances under which firewood from out-of-state is brought into this Commonwealth include instances where firewood is transported to public and private campgrounds by campers, or to sporting events and other events where travelers camp outdoors; or to activities such as Civil War reenactments where wood is used for cooking and evening campfires; or as bulk firewood sold by the truckload or some other volume of measure (cord, face cord, rick, etc...), or as firewood purchased for indoor residential use.

2. Kiln-dried, packaged firewood clearly marked with the producer’s name and address and labeled as "Kiln Dried" and/or USDA Certified are exempt from the provisions of this quarantine order.

3. Persons found in violation of this quarantine order will face the potential of summary criminal prosecution and a fine of not more than $300 for each offense, or a civil penalty of up to $20,000, or both.
