If you don't know what the Emerald Ash Borer is, it's a nasty little green bug, an exotic pest that kills ash trees. Keep reading...
Cheryl and I have a bonfire/wiener/marshmallow roast planned for one night of the seminar. However, we need some firewood to burn. If those of you who have fireplaces have a leftover piece or two of wood and could bring it to the airport next time you're out, we would be VERY grateful. (We need it by the last week in June.) I don't even HAVE a fireplace, so can't help at all. Kurt says the SE corner of the gravel parking lot would be his preferred place to stack it, temporarily.
Thanks so much in advance!

Our airport is in Madison County which is NOT an infested area (yet). It would be illegal to bring firewood there from an infested county, and unfortunately certain townships in Marion County and Hamilton County ARE infested and those entire counties are under firewood quarantine. Please do NOT move any hardwood firewood from Marion or Hamilton County to Alexandria!
Fortunately we as a club are accustomed to navigating complicated regulatory requirements - but who thought a pile of firewood would be such a bureaucratic nightmare? Well, it doesn't have to be. It's legal to bring firewood to Alexandria from a non-quarantine area, and lots of CISS members live in non-quarantined counties.
The quarantine applies to all hardwood firewood, not just ash. It does not apply to conifers.
This will be a great bonfire!
Here's the law.
Here's more information.
Here's a map of Indiana showing infested and uninfested counties.
