Federal
Government Announces National "Don’t
Move Firewood" Campaign (Jun 13, 2008)
Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The Government
of Canada is launching a "Don't Move Firewood"
campaign to limit the spread of invasive
species by vacationing Canadians this summer.
"Most people don't know that moving a simple
piece of firewood could threaten and destroy
thousands, even millions, of trees. We all
have a responsibility to protect Canada's
beautiful forests so the message is clear:
buy wood locally, burn it on site and never
bring it back home."
