If they answered yes, their firewood was confiscated and replaced with an equal volume of local wood. During the summer of 2004, in one large park in southwestern Ontario, firewood was confiscated from 2,000 campers. I wonder how many campers had wood but denied it, or how many vacationers took wood to other campsites or cottages? Our American neighbours have not fared any better. An outbreak of EAB has occurred in Maryland as a result of nursery stock that originated in Michigan. Are these people really unaware, aware but unconcerned or just plain stupid? To quote the comic strip character Pogo, "We have met the enemy and he is us." Next month, is control with pesticides an option, are there more pests on the horizon and what options do woodlot owners have?
