Dear Don't Move Firewood's inbox received a really fascinating question today on the issue of forest health and biomass fuel.

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

 

I know of many biomass power facilities transporting wood from great distances. These pests do survive the chipping process. Does your organization address this issue, which is far larger than individuals moving firewood?

 

Yours,

Josh

Remember Hurricane Irene, just a few months ago? Back then, we reminded all our Don't Move Firewood listeners of the importance of disposing of storm debris safely. Well, here we are again! After the unseasonably snowy weather along the East coast, please remember that any and all yard waste- from branches, to leaves, to full fallen trees- should be disposed of carefully.
