Beetle Invasion

I've heard a lot lately about the dangers of transporting firewood from one location to another.  And, although I understand that it can spread voracious insects that destroy forests, it was all still a little abstract to me.

However, I just read the article on kentucky.com about the Asian Longhorned Beetle and it's all a little more clear now.

So please read the article and take it seriously.  Foreign pests and diseases can literally destroy species of trees in a short amount of time.  Take Dutch Elm's Disease for example...yeah, mega damage.

And please don't transport firewood.
