[SCA-BMDL] Free Wood!

[Krista Traini]

The firewood ban is still in effect to protect our sylvan trees, as is proper, of course.  However, it applies only to out-of state firewood, not county to county within PA.  

Here is a link to the relevant Pennsic website section: http://www.pennsicwar.org/penn39/GENERAL/firewood.html

And a link to the actual PA Dept of Agriculture bulletin: http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol40/40-3/108.html

I was not able to find any sort of stricter prohibition on Butler County's website.
