Protect the Nation's Forests – Don’t
Move Firewood
This camping and hunting season… purchase your firewood
from a vendor close to your destination. Don’t pack your own
firewood for use at your campsite or cabin. Unfortunately, our
native trees and forests are being threatened by invasive insects
and diseases that live in dead and dying wood. In many cases, these
pests are being accidentally spread to new locations by homeowners
and recreationists moving firewood from one location to another.
Emerald ash borer, an invasive insect from Asia, is one example
of a pest being moved in firewood. Emerald ash borer is responsible
for over 20 million dead and dying ash trees in Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois. This tiny insect has caused millions of
dollars of damage to homeowners, the nursery industry, municipal
governments as well as park and forest managers. For more
information on other forest pests that can be spread by firewood,
please see the Note
from the Northeastern Area Director.
In May of 2006, a group of concerned forest conservationists got
together at the Morton Arboretum in Illinois, for the Firewood
Forum. The Firewood Forum was designed to provide
our partners and cooperators an opportunity to learn more about the
forest health hazards of transporting wood as well as an opportunity
to network with state counterparts on issues related to emerald ash
borer and firewood bans.
