Camping? Leave your firewood at home

RHINELANDER - With the school year wrapping up, more families will head to the forests to go camping. Following one simple rule can prevent the spread of Emerald Ash Borer, or EAB, and preserve the forests for families to enjoy in the future.

EAB is an Asian beetle that kills ash trees.

State campgrounds don't allow firewood from more than 10 miles away from the property to help prevent the spread of the invasive species. Firewood also can't be from a quarantined area unless the area campers are visiting is also quarantined.
