Your firewood could be carring dangerous hitchhikers! But you can help stop them. San Diego has a new pest that is invading oak trees. We need your help to minimize its spread. The Goldspotted Oak Borer (GSOB) is infesting; coastal live, black and canyon live oak trees at an alarming rate. The Goldspotted oak borer (GSOB) Agrilus auroguttatus is an invasive pest contributing to the on-going oak tree mortality occurring on federal, state, private, and local Native American lands in San Diego County. Widespread oak mortality can have severe implications to the environment and human safety. Due to the current and potential impacts to California oaks and communities, locally and statewide, multiple agencies and organizations are working together in the research, education and outreach efforts regarding this pest. We appreciate your cooperation. For more information please visit www.firewood.ca.gov
