Forest managers react to emerald ash borer

By Lee Bergquist

Managers of the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest said this morning that they are further restricting the movement of firewood and would not allow visitors to bring in firewood from anywhere south of Wisconsin 29.

Wisconsin 29 bisects the state from Green Bay to Prescott on the Mississippi River.

For the past two years, the Forest Service had not allowed firewood from outside of Wisconsin.

The changes are motivated by the discovery of the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle, in Wisconsin this month.

The beetle is unable to move more than a few miles on its own, but often hitchhikes a ride on firewood to travel long distances and infect new areas.

The emerald ash borer has been found in 10 states and is responsible for killing tens of millions of trees.

Sementara saya bermain di ruang poker kasino Cal Neva di Reno beberapa waktu lalu, tiga pemain bangkit dari salah satu meja pada saat bersamaan. Mereka bergerak cukup dekat kepada saya sehingga saya bisa mendengar apa yang mereka katakan. Mereka bertiga menggunakan ponsel
