Outside Firewood Prohibited |
|
In years past, bringing firewood
along to a camping weekend was
tradition. However, forestry
officials now understand that this
practice contributed to the spread
of invasive species such as the
Asian Longhorned Beetle or the
Emerald Ash Borer. Invasive species
have devastated forests in the US
Midwest, and have recently been
found in the Worcester,
Massachusetts area. Once a forest is
infested, eradication of an invasive
pest involves devastating measures
such as the removal of entire stands
of trees or forested areas. You
should burn only green-certified
local wood from sustainable forest
growers. Beginning with the 2010
camping season, transportation of
firewood into or out of Pine Acres
must be prohibited. Firewood is
available for sale at the
campground. |
