Wood Being Sold Has Emerald Ash Borer Beetle

We have been hearing about these beetles for some time now and according to the Daily Freeman about 14 cords of cut and split firewood and 64 logs, all infested by the emerald ash borer and being offered for sale on state Route 28, have been confiscated and destroyed, state officials said Wednesday.

If you did purchase wood from the Olive location on Route 28 or if you think there may be a presence of emerald ash borers in firewood or local trees should call the Department of Environmental Conservation hotline at (866) 640-0652.
