Wood piled against your home or other structures is a #fire hazard. Move #firewood piles 10 to 30 metres from your home, or into a #FireSmart building. Moving your firewood could save your home from a wildland fire. Learn more: ontario.ca/FireSmart

DID YOU KNOW? Invasive plants are often found in seed packets. They can outcompete native plants, degrade natural areas and have economic impacts on agriculture. Here are some helpful links: bit.ly/3p0z4jr bit.ly/3wR8tP2 bit.ly/3Tp81k6
