Cool Green Science, a blog on The Nature Conservancy's website (Nature.org), features a great story on the Asian longhorned beetle this week.
Here's my favorite part, of course;
"Also, as you head off to hike, camp and swim this summer, leave your firewood at home."
It is worth noting here, in the interest of full disclosure, that Don't Move Firewood is actually owned and operated by The Nature Conservancy as part of their (our!) work with the Continental Dialogue on Non-native Insects and Diseases. This site has many other partners too- like the US Forest Service, and Purdue University, to name just two. If you ever want to learn more about what Don't Move Firewood is really like "under the hood," contact me, Leigh, at LGreenwood (at) TNC (dot) org. Or go visit our About page for details. We are always looking for more like-minded agencies and NGOs to collaborate with in the fight against firewood mediated pest transport!
