Burn Locally this Winter
Cooler weather is on the way! As temperatures drop, it's a great time to stay warm and relax by the fire. As you get your fireplace ready for the winter, look for firewood from local sources. Tree-killing pests and diseases can be transported with firewood. When these species are introduced to a new area, they can destroy forests and property values, and are extremely costly to control. Learn how you can avoid spreading these pests by only using firewood from a local source.
