Losing your trees is bad for your health
https://www.dontmovefirewood.org/2013/01... [Health and Safety] [Environment and Sustainability] [Report] 2013 Leigh Greenwood There is a new study just released that shows there is a link between losing a lot of trees in your neighborhood and declining health of the residents in that area. It is a fascinating read, and it underscores the critical importance of not bringing in firewood from far away (which can start an infestation that then decimates the trees) and also reporting any odd pests or damage quickly, so that you might lose one tree instead of all of them. One thing I think gets a little lost in some of the... |
