Leave Your Firewood At Home
Buy it where you burn it. Don’t give bugs a free ride!
Hauling insect-infested firewood from home dramatically speeds up the spread of invasive insects that harm our forests. An invasive insect population might spread a few miles on its own in a single year. But moving infested wood can spread the same pest hundreds of miles in a single day.
- Pests can be in, on, or under the bark or in the wood|
