the perfect topic for 4th of July weekend and campfires are being lit all across the great state of Maine… firewood! But we’re talking specifically about what you SHOULDN’T do with firewood. Here it is: DON’T MOVE FIREWOOD! We’re talking to Gary Fish from the Maine Department of Forestry and Conservation. Gary is the Maine State Horticulturalist… which is to say, Gary is Maine’s Top Plant Guy!
They give you shade. They provide oxygen. Let’s make sure trees everywhere can do the same for future generations. If you’re a camper heading out for a trip — or just getting firewood for your wood stove — do nature a favor. Don’t move firewood long distances — it can potentially transport invasive species. Instead, buy it where you’ll burn it, buy certified heat-treated firewood — or gather on site where permitted. The forests, and your great-great-grandkids, will thank you.
