The movement of firewood of all types and species onto NH campgrounds from sources outside New Hampshire State boundaries is strictly prohibited; unless it is prepackaged firewood clearly marked with a place of origin and labeled "kiln-dried".

An infestation of Asian Longhorned Beetle was recently discovered in Worcester, MA. This exotic beetle poses a great threat to NH's forests since it is easily transported in firewood. There is no known natural control and once established it kills numerous tree species, including maple.

At least 75% of these infestations were a result of firewood movement.
