    Chronic Wasting Disease

    Hunters should be aware of special rules and regulations that apply to deer harvested within the Disease Management Area. It is recommended that those deer be tested for the disease.

    Don’t Move Firewood​

    To help protect the forest from invasive insects that can kill trees and devastate the ecosystem, please do not transport firewood over long distances. Firewood can harbor insects such as emerald ash borer.

    Cut or purchase your firewood where you intend to burn it.
