The North American Invasive Species Management Association will hold a Firewood Rules, Certifications, and Recommendations across the USA webinar on March 4th at noon ET.
The federal deregulation of emerald ash borer in January 2021 was widely expected to lead to many changes in the regulatory environment around firewood in the USA.
This webinar, presented by Leigh Greenwood of TNC, will discuss a new report written by staff of The Nature Conservancy’s Don’t Move Firewood campaign, covering what regulations and recommendations are in place a year after the EAB deregulation was finalized.
The dynamic situation of many forest pests, coupled with the different challenges faced by the state agencies’ statutory authorities and priorities, forest conditions, and unique geographies, have all combined to create a complex regulatory mosaic- and as a result, a very challenging outreach environment.
The webinar will explain how the current regulatory environments applying to the inter- and intra-state movement of firewood vary greatly in type and prevalence across the United States.
