ATTENTION BERKS COUNTY - For the health of our fruit trees, grapes and forest... The general QUARANTINE of Pike & District townships in Berks County restricts movement of any material or object that can spread the pest. This includes firewood or wood products, brush or yard waste, remodeling or construction materials and waste, packing material like boxes, grapevines for decorative purposes or as nursery stock, and any outdoor household articles like lawnmowers, grills, tarps and any other equipment, trucks or vehicles not stored indoors. Businesses in the general quarantine area need to obtain a Certificate of Limited Permit from the department of Agriculture in order to move articles. Criminal and civil penalties of up to $20,000 and prison time can be imposed for violations by businesses or individuals. We know were asking a lot, but we know Pennsylvanians will assist us and help save our fruit trees, grapes and forests.
