Don't Miss Chance at Winning Perfect Camping Set
South Dakota Ag Connection - 06/25/2019

Don't miss out on a chance to win the "Perfect Camping Set" from the South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) and South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks. In order to be entered, one must take the pledge to not move untreated firewood on the SDDA's website before June 30 at midnight CT. The winner will receive "The Perfect Camping Set," including a tent, sleeping bags and outdoor cooking equipment.

Trees play an important role in our communities, as well as on our farms and ranches. However, non-native insects and diseases are killing these important parts of our ecosystems and causing millions of dollars of damage to communities and forests across the nation. These insects and diseases can't move far on their own, but when people move firewood they can jump hundreds of miles.

In May 2018, emerald ash borer, a destructive exotic beetle, was discovered in Sioux Falls. Now more than ever, it is imperative that South Dakotans buy or collect firewood where they plan to burn it or buy certified heat-treated firewood.

Protect South Dakota's natural resources by taking the pledge to not move untreated firewood at https://sdda.sd.gov/Firewood/Pledge.aspx.
