Don't Move Firewood - You Could be Killing Our Trees!
New York Department of Environmental Conservation.
Don't pack your own firewood for use at your campsite or cabin. Unfortunately, our native trees and forests are being threatened by invasive insects and diseases that live in dead and dying wood. In many cases, these pests are being accidentally spread to new locations by homeowners and recreationists moving firewood from one location to another.

Update from the State
Roots -- Newsletter of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (Fall/Winter 2006; PDF | 467 KB)
The 2006 state budget included an unprecedented $3.25 million for invasive species. The funding will be used to implement the 12 recommendations that the NY Invasive Species Task Force (ISTF) submitted to the Governor and Legislature in the fall of 2005. Co-chaired by the Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Agriculture and Markets, the ISTF continues to meet and make steady progress since its establishment in 2003. Next steps will be administering numerous contracts and grants to put EPF dollars to work.
