EMERALD ASH BORER INSECT THREATENS BASEBALL BATS
The Emerald Ash Borer is an insect native to Asia that has arrived in parts of North America. It is destroying northern white ash trees at an alarming rate. Ash is one of the primary woods used for professional baseball bats. You can help prevent the spread of this insect and its devastation by not moving firewood. The Emerald Ash Borer spreads quickly when people move firewood across distances. Please, cut or buy your firewood locally and burn locally!
