The Canadian Food and Inspection Agency is urging all residents of the following counties to please obey the rule
“Don’t move firewood” …
As we move towards Spring and then onto summer most of us will be eager to enjoy the outdoors. But please if you live in any of the counties listed below DO NOT move any firewood from your area into any other area, especially those that are not listed below…
The emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is wrecking havoc on our wonderful trees throughout Ontario, it’s killing them… :(
Please help to protect our trees which are a necessary part of a healthy environment, and help to stop the spread of EAB into area’s not yet affected….
If you move ash tree materials or firewood from any of the following counties without written permission from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and you are caught you will be subject to a fine or prosecution.
Thanks everyone for caring enough to follow this rule….. :)
