I think with the firewood ban, it's more an "if we can keep the majority from doing it, we've decreased the risk significantly".
If the campground has 50 sites and those are filled with 50 different guests per season, then there are 2500 opportunities for buggy wood to be introduced.
With the firewood ban, 3/5 of those will get wood at the campground, 7/20 will get it nearby, and only about 1/20 will bring it in from elsewhere. That reduces the risk from all 2500 guests to only about 100 guests.
And if the majority of those 100 guests pays more attention to their wood source, then it could reduce it even more.
WAY TOO MUCH MATH for a Monday Morning ! !
Did you whip up those estimates up off the top of your head? Or is it something you have been watching?
