The National Parks Service contains some of the most diverse landscapes imaginable, and of course each Park or Monument deserves the right to choose how they protect their heritage from invasive species threats. Don't Move Firewood thinks it is smart to keep visitors from bringing firewood into the parks, especially if those visitors are coming from known high risk areas.

Fun question today for our advice column...

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood

I would like to request a free DVD of yours. In the form page, I can not select my country. I'm from outside of US. If it is possible, would you please send me a copy?

Yours,

Ozgehan from Turkey

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

If we can't bring firewood can we purchase firewood there at the camp site and how much do we get at what price? i have reserved a place for a week and i need to know what it will take to have a fun and enjoyable birthday weekend camping and fishing.

Yours,

On pesticides and prevention

An interesting question popped into my inbox this weekend, about prevention from insect infestations, and use of pesticides.

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

I lost several ash trees to pests this last couple seasons here in n.w. Ohio. I am concerned about a large maple tree. Nothing visible yet but as a precaution I wonder if a treatment of Lambda-cyhalothrin would be in order. It is a product that has worked well on the beetle (lady bug). Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Yours,

Roger in Ohio
