[Ponte Alto] Firewood at Pennsic

[Miles de Locwode]

Hi All,

For those who are going to Pennsic this year and are planning to bring their
own firewood.  Please read below, it is copied from the Pennsic webpage
today:


Firewood Quarantine in Butler County
Pennsylvania state officials have placed a quarantine on the transportation
of ash trees and firewood into or out of Allegheny, Butler, Beaver and
Lawrence counties after an emerald ash borer -- a tiny green beetle from
Asia -- was discovered in a tree in Cranberry.
(Cooper's Lake Campground, in Slippery Rock, PA, is within Butler County.)

The quarantine restricts the movement of ash nursery stock, green lumber and
any other ash material, including logs, stumps, roots and branches, and all
wood chips.

Because of the difficulty in distinguishing between species of firewood,
campers are being asked to use only locally harvested firewood, which should
all be burned on-site and not carried to new locations. All types of
hardwood firewood, including ash, oak, maple and hickory, are considered
quarantined.
