Don’t move firewood!🚫🪵
Transporting untreated wood can spread the Asian longhorned beetle and other harmful pests.
Help protect trees by keeping firewood local and checking your trees this month. Your report could stop an infestation.

🌳What's at Stake? Our trees. The invasive Asian longhorned beetle attacks and kills hardwood trees, putting neighborhoods, forests, and wildlife habitat at risk.

See round holes in your trees? Sawdust at the base? Unexplained dieback?
These could be signs of the Asian longhorned beetle. Adult beetles are most active in August, making now the best time to check.

Just because 🔥 #firewood looks clean doesn’t mean it’s safe to transport. Protect forests from #invasive pests; buy it where you burn it or gather firewood on site where permitted. The Asian longhorned beetle has spread to 4 states and Ontario, causing serious damage to 🍁 maple trees and other hardwoods. #FirewoodMonth #BuyItWhereYouBurnIt #PlayCleanGo #ALHB

Using firewood to heat your home? Source it locally, or buy certified, heat-treated firewood to avoid giving hitchhiking, invasive pests a free ride to new places. Wood-boring pests - like the Asian longhorned beetle -are devouring North American hardwood trees. #DontMoveFirewood
Millions of families rely on wood to heat homes, and USDA Forest Service provides grants while partnering with organizations nationwide to help those in need gain access to this life-saving resource when they need it most. ow.ly/ngOI50Li9bt
