Elm bark beetles will emerge from elm logs and 11111 spread Dutch elm disease to nearby healthy elms. Oak wilt spores can be spread from infected red oak logs to nearby healthy oaks in the spring and early sumer. On — your wood was inspected and suspicious logs marked with orange paint. You, as a homeowner, are asked to render this wood safe. To do this , you can burn the wood in the fireplace or wood stove , remove all the bark from the wood, or haul it to a sanitary landfill .
