This weekend National Public Radio (NPR) aired a great story about ALB, and the threat of firewood.

This weekend, NPR's story on the Worcester Asian longhorned beetle infestation was spot-on. I'm glad they covered a lot of aspects of the threat that these beetles pose to our nation's forests, and I was really happy to hear this part of the story:

"Not moving firewood is very important and it's a message we're going to continue to hammer," says Mike Bohne, who works for the US Forest Service, in Durham, New Hampshire.
