Here are some informational blurbs for your website:
- Forests are being destroyed through the transportation of invasive insects and diseases found in firewood.
- To prevent the spread of pests that destroy forests, do not move firewood. Instead, obtain it from local sources.
- Burn firewood in the same general area as the wood source. As a general rule, 50 miles is too far, and 10 miles or less is best.
- Did you know? Firewood can only legally enter Washington from out of state if it is labeled “Approved Pest Free.” Violators are subject to civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation. (Note: we advise using this statement only after August 18, 2026, when these penalties are fully in effect.)
- We also welcome you to link to Don’t Move Firewood (dontmovefirewood.org, or https://www.dontmovefirewood.org/map/washington/ if you prefer) on your own FAQ page, within campsite information, during the campsite booking process, and in confirmation emails.
