Trees are being destroyed through the transportation of invasive insects & diseases in firewood. Only you can help to stop it.
UPDATE From the NH Division of Forests and Lands, July 2011:
"In order to reduce the spread of exotic forest pests, the movement of firewood of all types and species into state-owned properties, under the administration of the Department of Resources and Economic Development, from sources outside New Hampshire State boundaries is prohibited; unless it is prepackaged firewood clearly marked with place of origin and labeled "kiln-dired". Any person, employee, or agent of that person, who violates this order shall be guilty of a violation of up to $2,000 (RSA 227-K:17)."

One of the most important things we can do to protect trees is stop moving invasive pests and diseases to new areas on firewood. It’s really that simple- don't move firewood, and keep trees healthy and alive.
Danforth Bay has joined forces with the Don't Move Firewood campaign with a goal of
protecting the trees and forests of New England by stopping the transportation of invasive
insects and diseases in firewood.
Danforth Bay has bundles of wood for sale at The Depot and a list of safe local wood
suppliers is available.
Thinking of saving money by bringing your own firewood?
