It is rare to see an article coming from a state with no well-known tree pests, about pests.
Connecticut has historically had many types of invasive tree pests- Gypsy moth, Hemlock Wooly Adelgid, Dutch Elm Disease, and more. But right now, they don't have any of the new big name pests.
So I was pleased to see a recent article byt the Connecticut Outdoor Recreation Examiner talking about how Emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle are not yet in Connecticut, but that citizens should be aware, and should not be moving firewood.
Insects from China invade U.S. and they're headed for Connecticut is a good, simple article about what is currently in the neighboring states, and I was glad that the Joel Kuczynski gave this as his number one tip;
Buy and use only local firewood and don’t transport your firewood to campsites.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
