With the camping season around the corner, the Montérégie Forest Agency would like to remind you how important it is to buy firewood to protect our forests. Our forests are increasingly threatened by insects and exotic diseases such as the emerald ash borer and the Butternut canker. The local purchase of firewood becomes an important action to limit their propagation. For example, the emerald ash borer will travel at the most twenty kilometres per year but in the trunk of a car it could travel several hundreds of kilometres in just a few hours. Also try not to bring home logs from the campsite. Similar awareness campaigns are in progress in Ontario and in the United States. U.S. customs officers are on the look out!
