Don’t Move Firewood isn’t just a single website. We are constantly changing and diversifying our outreach methods to reach more people in more places. So what do we really do?
We give away stuff. Lots of stuff.
Don’t Move Firewood gives away thousands and thousands of stickers, magnets, window clings, fake tattoos, and DVDs every year to fellow outreach professionals. Staffing a booth about firewood regulations at the state fair? Teaching a master gardener’s class? Going to the big annual boy scout gathering in your state? We have some stickers waiting for you! All you have to do is ask. Check out our assortment of stuff here.
We can make customized materials, just for you.
All over the country, state and federal agencies as well as non-profits and trade groups are getting the word out about the risk of moving firewood. Rather than reinventing the wheel, groups are increasing coming to us for free design services. We’ve made a huge variety of products in the last few years- billboards, posters, banners, postcards, online ads, printed ads, beach balls, fake tattoos, mailing slips, stickers, hats, teeshirts, vests, frisbees, paper fans, even a fully customized deck of cards. We do all the design work and take care of a lot of the technical details with your chosen vendor- all you have to do is work with us to agree on the look and wording, and then you pay for the creation of the final product. In most cases, this will save you thousands of dollars of design fees, while aligning your project with our nationally recognized look, feel, and brand. It’s a great deal.
Recently, we’ve made customized products for; CT, ID, MA, MO, MT, NH, NY, OR, PA, VT, WA, and WI. And we have upcoming ideas that we are exploring with new collaborators in CO, SC and TN. So if you want something made, you’ll be in good company. To see some of the stuff we've made in the past, visit our collaborator page.
Twitter! Facebook! YouTube! Blogging!
We spread our message through all the newest and most effective online tools. We have a twitter account, a facebook account, and a YouTube channel with our full assortment of funny and educational videos. We even have a facebook game- Shred a pest- that lets you try to kill cartoonish forest pests by fire, water, vicious insults or wood chipper. Check it out!
And we blog. Occasionally we do guest blogs- so if you ever want to publicize something cool about your own efforts to educate the public about not moving firewood, email me, Leigh, at Lgreenwood at TNC dot org, and I’ll work with you to get something on our site.
