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

[George Ehrhardt]

The entire state is now a quarentied area.
Movement is not illegal in the state but it is suggested the wood shouldn't
be moved.
This seems like a personal decision.
My opionion is in an area were the tree could become a hazard it's best to
take it down.
In a natural area, leave it for the woodpeckers.
The chemicals used for treatment are toxic and persitent.
I dont need the firewood at my home but would not have a problem moving it
here. EAB is widespread in this area.
