We want you to know the dangers associated with creosoted and pressure-treated wood. Our goal is to have shorelines everywhere in the world free of this toxic garbage. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1c9b1d20.jpg" border=0 width="433" height="210" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Derelict structure in Ft.
