Hello friends! I’m leading a
webinar tomorrow that I could use a bit of help promoting. It is on the various
types of rules, regulations, and authorities that come into play in the
movement of firewood. If you have a moment to promote this webinar on your
social media accounts and/or any lists or simple distribution groups that you
have, I’d appreciate it. The link is here: https://www.dontmovefirewood.org/webinar-regulations-that-apply-moving-firewood-right-now/ and the full description is below.
Webinar:
Regulations that apply to moving firewood right now
Join us for a
FOCI webinar, Regulations that apply to moving firewood right now, on Thursday,
January 25th 2018 at noon Eastern (9am Pacific, 10 Mountain, 11 Central). The
regulations that apply to firewood are often not entirely about the firewood
itself, which makes it hard to fully categorize and understand the tangled web
of rules and quarantines in North America. Each January, staff of Don’t Move
Firewood comb through all the recommendations, recommendations, regulations,
and informational websites that apply- and then spend February updating the
Don’t Move Firewood map (https://www.dontmovefirewood.org/map/) to reflect the most accurate and current information
possible. During this webinar, the manager of Don’t Move Firewood, Leigh
Greenwood, will describe all the different ways in which current regulations
criss-cross to create a confusing, and fascinating, regulatory landscape. From
Asian longhorned beetle to Arkansas, walnut twig beetle to Wyoming Weed and
Pest Control Act, we’ll do our best to accurately represent the scope of a
whole continent’s rules and regulations in merely one hour. This webinar will
be recorded for interested parties that cannot attend, and we will post a link
to the recorded webinar on this page once completed.
