The training is needed annually to receive a Limited Permit
St. Paul, MN: The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is hosting a series of trainings throughout northern Minnesota for loggers and transport operators moving select items out of Lake and Cook counties. The two counties are under quarantine for gypsy moth, and a special permit, called a Limited Permit, is needed to move wood products out of the quarantine area to an approved facility.
The transportation of pulpwood, sawbolts and bark (used for fuel) requires a Limited Permit. A business representative must attend a training each year for the company to receive a Limited Permit. Permits expire annually on April 30.
