No matter what we do the EAB will travel on its own!
This may be true, or not.. I do recall many years ago another tree pest that was killing trees,, Finally the arborists figured out how to kill the pest and save the trees.. It may happen, with this one too, and the Pine whatever it is out west.
or not,, Because science is being seriously impaired now days.
But that is a topic for elsewhere.
But the big thing is we got to stop transporting untreated wood. PERIOD. I recall a couple years ago reading about a family of RVers or Campers hauling over 500 pounds of bark-on untreated firewood across state lines.... The fine was amazing, and the police had a nice bonfire in a protected area cause that's the only sure way to control it now.
Myself, I have transported infected wood, but ONLY within a quarantine area. (Detroit to Davison MI, both in the same area).
Never outside the area, even to a higher level quarantine area.
I have also compared the cost of buying Firewood NEAR (not in) the campground v/s the cost of splitting and transporting my own.
Cheaper to buy it where you burn it unless it is a very short trip to the Camp Ground. (Detroit-Davison about 1 hour drive (60 miles) I'd not want to haul it farther.
Oh the tree was one of my own had to be cut down as it was a hazard.
