But the research has put a fright in me---apparently there are just as many things, if not more, that threaten our trees as threaten humans. And we humans help spread the pests and disease at an alarming rate; albeit unwittingly. Firewood for fireplaces and campfires should not be moved except under the utmost caution.
It would be nice to have a national alert system where people could go to see what kind of pests and disease are attacking in their area and what they can do to help.
