Prevent spread of the disease Oregon�s oaks can best be protected from sudden oak death by taking the following steps: - Don�t transport oak firewood or other potentially infected plant materials from diseased areas in California to Oregon. - If you visit diseased areas in California, wash your vehicle and shoes before traveling to disease-free areas. Vehicles such as mountain bikes taken into diseased areas should also be washed. - If you see an oak or tanoak with SOD symptoms, report it to the Oregon Department of Forestry or Oregon Department of Agriculture.   Mail Tribune Home | Ottaway Newspapers, Inc. | Dow Jones & Co., Inc. | Privacy | Contact Us Copyright � 2000 Mail Tribune, Inc.
