An alert citizen in Wisconsin posted a great question to Don't Move Firewood today;

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

 

I own a farm in (town removed) Wisconsin and 40 acres of wood was blown down in the July storms. I would like to bring the oak to my home in (town removed) Minnesota to burn, is that alright to do?

 

Yours,

Dan from Minnesota

 

Dear Dan,

 

I hate to tell you, but this is a really bad idea on a two levels.

Congratulations to the smart folks that worked tirelessly to pass a firewood preventative measure in Oregon! Starting in a little over a year, firewood that is sold in Oregon will need to either be from a neighboring state, or kiln (high heat) dryed and labeled. Here at Don't Move Firewood, we think this is a great step forward to protect the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and we'll be working to spread the word about this law- and any information how the preparation for implementation goes in 2012- as we learn more!
