As outdoors enthusiasts and cabin-fever escapees head for the mountains and forests for recreation or camping this season, forestry officials are warning people to take special care when it comes to firewood and timber products because of a federal quarantine issued for the emerald ash borer, a destructive tree-killing beetle plaguing Tennessee and much of the South. Tennessee agriculture officials say Hickman and Dickson counties have joined 63 other counties under state and federal quarantine for the emerald ash borer. All counties in Tennessee east of those two are in the quarantine zone, and all Georgia counties are under quarantine.
