Folks over in Ohio and Minnesota have been spreading the word about the threat of moving firewood, and I think they've been doing a good job.
These recent articles that I've seen are quite complete- they talk about the threats from spreading emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, and other pests. They also include information on firewood in general, which is important. When you heat your home with firewood, you should be aware of many things; the heat quality of the wood, where the wood is from, and that you are getting what you pay for.
Here's a sampler of good articles;

'Buy local' more than just a snappy motto when it's firewood
