ALBANY - Conservation officials have banned hauling, importing or selling untreated firewood in New York in an effort to stop the spread of tree-killing insects.
The Department of Environmental Conservation said Wednesday the emergency regulations are effective immediately for 90 days.
They prohibit importing out-of-state firewood unless treated to eliminate invasive insect species, fungi and pathogens.
Transporting any untreated firewood within the state is limited to less than 50 miles.
