I have a change of cutting down a couple of big oak trees in Wisconsin. What are the rules of bringing the firewood to Illinois?
Be aware, if you transport firewood from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, or lower Michigan, you can be liable for federal fines up to $1,000.00.
The
combined media interest from this new detection and the
Firewood Forum resulted in greater public awareness
about emerald ash borer and the importance of educating
the public to buy firewood locally and not transport it over
distances.
As a result, Illinois has new regulations preventing the
movement of firewood. Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota
are in various stages of planning and executing public
outreach on this subject.
i doubt anyone will bother you.not sure how far communism is gone up there.i'd say cops around Chicago are too dumb to know anything about firewood hauling laws.
if you get near Madison or Racine,WATCH OUT! the libs are everywhere around those places.
You aint kiddin about the libs... I married a girl from mad town... one of her friends is a dripping bleeding lib and hard core who tries to convert us to the dark side of liberalism ie hillary and obama are the greatest things since sliced bread. and thinks because neither one of us went to college thinks we are dumb back-woods hicks who don't have any business voting or should have any opinion what so ever... funny she went to school to be a teacher.. got her degree, tried teaching and couldn't hack it... ( doesn't care about or like kids)..and us we have our own farm growing chickens, ( btw she doesnt like what we do, she is an organic nut) stay at home parents making enough to do so... and I know that just galls her that we seem to do well with out that piece of paper.
sorry i bought up politics I will get off my soap box now:angrysoapbox:
I think maybe you are a dumb backwoods hick.
opcorn: This is getting good!

:agree2:Woodchop, you got to go to the DNR websites for IL and WI to find out what is going on. Now I'm in Monroe Co. MI 15 miles north of the OH line, and one of my sisters is in Lucas Co. OH 3 miles south of the Ohio line, both counties are under a EAB quarantine. Under MI law I cannot move any wood product larger than mulch outside the state . I can move wood to any other county inside of MI under the EAB quarantine and I do regularly stocking up wood for my other sister and my parents in Wayne Co, but I cannot legally bring my sister in Lucus Co. Ohio any wood for her stove no matter what kind it is and she is actually 20 miles closer then my family in MI. Since I'm basically the wood processor for the family, legally she finds a source and I bring my gear down their to process it, or she buying it ready to burn.
Again you need to go find out what IL has to say about importing wood. and does WI have a ban on exporting wood.
