Camping in Vermont

Firewood Advisory
Invasive insects and diseases found in firewood are a threat to our forests! Before bringing firewood into a Vermont State Park this summer, please read the information below about a very real threat to forests in Vermont and all of North America:

Firewood may contain non-native insects and tree diseases that have found their way into the United States from other countries. Exotic pests like the Asian Long-horned Beetle and the Emerald Ash Borer are currently killing millions of trees in the mid-west and eastern U.S. Bringing firewood into the parks from other areas could accidentally allow these pests to become established in our forests. Management of trees infected with non-native pests involves drastic measures, such as the complete removal of all host trees in the immediate and surrounding area.

If you are visiting Vermont from out of state, please do not bring firewood from home. Firewood is available for purchase at most state parks or can be obtained in the local area.
