This Gun in My Hand! This episode is available on Youtube and in audio formats other than mp3 on archive.org. Time for a legit public service announcement: the emerald ash borer is a serious invasive species that kills ash trees in North America. One of the main ways it spreads to new areas is when people take wood for campfires from one area and drive it to another area, giving the bugs a free ride. When you go camping, be sure to use local firewood that you find, or buy it near the spot where you’re camping. Burn all of it or leave any remaining firewood. Don’t carry it on to a different campsite.
