At least 58 non-native wood-boring insect species have been detected in the United States since 1985; nearly all are suspected of having entered the country in crates, pallets, or other forms of packaging made of wood. And despite the far tighter regulations on wooden packaging that were put in place in 2006, some wood boring insects are bound to continue sneaking into North America.

Excellent question for our advice column, Dear Don't Move Firewood...

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

Maybe I've missed it on your site but I don't see any information on where to find firewood locally. We just bought a vacation home on Whidbey Island but so far I am not aware of a reputable firewood seller. Any information you have would be appreciated.

Yours,

Thoughtful Burner

Are you celebrating the start of 2013 this weekend by doing some "out with the old, in with the new" kinda house cleaning, decoration disposal, and more? If so, please remember to read our tips (from a blog post last year) on how to get rid of old christmas trees and other tree decorations.

 

Alternatively, if you are planning on taking this first weekend of 2013 to go skiing, check out our second ski video, Ski Bro Talk Trees by Glen Plake!

Ash trees down the street

A reader question today regarding using wood from down the road.

 

Dear Don't Move Firewood,

We have one ash tree in our yard. We also burn wood. We have a chance to get some wood down the street from us, but it is an ash tree and we don't know if the ash borer dies off at a time, hibernates, we just don't want to bring the borer to our house for our tree, but we need the wood to burn at our house. Can you help me? Thank You for your time in this matter.

Yours,

Rita
