Department Of Natural Resources Firewood Rules

Last updated on Friday, April 28, 2017

(UNDATED) - There are 140 known pests and pathogens that can be moved in firewood. Conserving our Hoosier forests is everyone’s responsibility, so the DNR has a firewood management rule.

You can bring firewood into a state park, reservoir, state forest or state fish & wildlife area if:

It is kiln-dried scrap lumber with no bark.
It is from your home or other Indiana location and has the all bark removed.
It bears a USDA compliance stamp.
It has a state compliance stamp with it.
It is purchased from the property camp store or on-site firewood vendor.

Find a firewood vendor who has a State of Indiana compliance agreement.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact firewood@dnr.IN.gov.
