International Wildlife Film Festival!

Our short video, Introducing the Emerald Ash Borer, has won a Merit Award for Creative Approach at the International Wildlife Film Festival in Missoula Montana. It is being screened today at the historic Wilma Theatre- and we here at Don't Move Firewood are so excited!!
This past weekend, a giant Emerald ash borer was sighted in the Wild Walk parade, which marks the start of the film festival, in downtown Missoula.
In these exclusive photographs, you can clearly see that the EAB was found right in the heart of the city.
Giant, menacing, and green!
Biological control agents, such as this ladybug seen here, were deployed to no avail
However, in the end, the EAB was contained and eradicated... and the message that moving firewood can threaten our natural resources was the only thing that spread far and wide.
