Eradicating invasive forest pest infestations is a
major focus of APHIS’ Plant
Protection and Quarantine Program. One
of the primary fronts in this battle in recent years
has been the recognition of the role firewood movement
plays in spreading invasive pests such to new areas. In
an effort to provide these stakeholder groups with
a comprehensive, up-to-date resource on issues relating
to invasive forest pests and their transport on firewood, APHIS
recently launched a new Web page to put this
information in a central location.
