[AT] Portland Info

[Larry Goss]

As a resident of Indiana who has lost nearly all of my mature Ash trees in the past few years, I feel that the statement concerning NO OUT-OF-STATE FIREWOOD needs to be emphasized.  Much of the state is now quarantined to the point that you can't even cross county lines with firewood.  Please, Don't bring it in.
