BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 30, 2021

Following the discovery of emerald ash borer in northern Cumberland County, the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry has issued an emergency order restricting the movement of ash trees or ash tree products including logs, pulpwood, green lumber and firewood from areas in neighboring Oxford County. Much of Cumberland County and an area in northern Aroostook County are already under quarantine due to the pest. The ban on importing firewood into Maine also remains in effect.
