Fourth of July is a great holiday - and one of the biggest camping weekends of the year. Smart campers like you know that moving firewood spreads pests. So what do you do when you notice your friends brought firewood from home? Or someone in the next campsite over has out of state license plates and their own stock of wood?
- Tell them about the problem with firewood in simple terms. "Did you know that when you bring firewood from home, that can spread bad bugs that kill trees?"
- Make it fun to fix the problem! Tell people that to keep trees safe from the firewood they brought on this trip, all they have to do is have a big bonfire and burn it all at once. It might seem wasteful at first, but remind them that the biggest waste would be if they accidentally started a pest infestation- that could kill thousands of trees, for many years to come.
