EAB University Webinar: Firewood Movement Regulation, Outreach, and Impact
2024-10-10 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago)
Firewood movement regulations, recommendations, outreach, and forest pests’ distribution change through time. The Don’t Move Firewood campaign is a leader in this space, not only for excellence in communicating behavior change messages to the public, but also as a professional resource to track and communicate regulatory frameworks and pest range shift information. This presentation will cover the basics of current firewood regulations in the USA, what resources Don’t Move Firewood has for both the layperson and for forest and firewood professionals, and- when it all comes together- how we can slow the spread of damaging forest pests and pathogens across the country.
