Moving firewood long distances can spread invasive forest pests hidden in or on the wood. Your firewood choices matter, and you can help slow the spread of these tree-killing pests. We are reaching out to inform more folks about invasive forest pests this month and raise awareness of this issue in Maine.
Don’t move firewood – instead, make one of these better choices:
Buy firewood where you’ll burn it.
Buy certified heat treated firewood.
Gather firewood on site when permitted.
You have the power to slow the spread of forest pests.
