The bad thing is, when you "Buy Local" It often doesn't mean it's a local produced product. This year when buying the little bundles of firewood at a store near where we were camped recently in both Utah, and Colorado, it turns out the wood came from Montana. Go figure...
In the Midwest, the transportation bans are to SLOW the advance of EAB, not to eliminate it. I'm thinking the Western States will have similar rules as EAB spreads West. In my resident County and surrounding counties, it is illegal to transport Ash firewood across County lines.
To SLOW it is correct. At check in at a Michigan state park two years ago, i was asked the fire wood question. I pointed to a good sized ash across from the gate house, with the obvious sign of peeling bark, and replied with, 'Why, you've already lost.' The highschooler working the gate didn't seem to understand. They can fly. once they are in the park, they are everywhere in the park.
