Piatt County Tip of the Week

Ash Tree Quarantine

The entire state of Illinois is quarantined from moving Ash products outside the state. This includes the firewood from Ash trees.  This quarantine is in place to limit the movement of the Emerald Ash borer, which is devastating ash trees in northern Illinois and has been confirmed in McLean county.  The Emerald Ash borer has spread widely due to the movement of ash wood in pallets and firewood.  (Source: ILL.
