EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA Firewood Survey Findings:

EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA Firewood Survey Findings: -Few campers cut their own wood · 10% from their own property · 10% purchased boxed wood in Yosemite · 30% knew what kind of wood they brought

EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA Firewood Survey Findings: -Campers and wood come from widely scattered areas · 70 % from coastal California counties · 10% from eastern California · 10% out-of-state (Montana via Nevada)

EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA Firewood Survey Findings: -30% of respondents were aware of State quaranties · 10 % brought banned host materials anyway

EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA Firewood Survey Findings: -No campers observed insect activity with their wood · 40 % had visible insect galleries

EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA Firewood Survey Findings: -Campers don’t burn all the wood they bring · 40 % plan to burn all of their wood this trip · 30% plan to take any remaining wood home · 20% plan to leave any remaining firewood · 20% brought wood they found at other camps

EXPERIENCE YOUR AMERICA May we discuss firewood pests with you? Did you cut it yourself? Did you get it near Yosemite? Are you aware of California quarantines on host materials for sudden oak death and pitch pine canker diseases? Do you know what kind of tree this came from and where and why it was originally cut? Where has it been stored (indoors/outdoors what county)? Did you notice any sawdust-like frass under it when you loaded or moved it? Have you noticed anything crawling/flying that might have come from the wood? If you squashed any bugs do you still have them or can you describe them? May we check for loose bark or frass in your open vehicle or storage container? Was the tree healthy, diseased, or dead when cut? May we exchange some of your wood with some local firewood in order to monitor your wood for forest insects and diseases? Do you plan to burn all of your wood here or take leftovers back home or to other camping location(s)? Firewood Survey and Exchange Questions
