[Lekooks] LCUUC parking lot closure DO NOT USE THE WOOD!

[Bev B.]

I just learned this year that several of my trees are affected and 
dying. Didn't realize until one day when I found literally hundreds 
of large pieces of bark on the ground under one of the trees, and a 
knowledgeable friend took a look and gave me the bad news. The only 
good part is that the worst of the trees attracted a Pileated 
Woodpecker, only the third I've ever seen (one in Door Co. and one in 
the Carolinas). BIG woodpecker!
Since I have never brought in any firewood, I guess they flew in? 
Assuming they do fly, then I would think humans may be able to slow 
their spread, but not stop them.
Sad for the trees. :-(
