Natural wood would also work here - the basic idea is it is not man-made wood products.

unprocessed wood


Explanation:
"The recent discovery of Sudden Oak Death in Mendocino County, near Highway 128 in Boonville, has prompted public warnings and new regulations aimed at stopping the spread of the disease that is ravaging California's majestic oak trees. With the finding, Mendocino joins seven other counties under emergency statewide quarantine of all known hosts of the fungus that causes Sudden Oak Death.

There is an immediate ban on transportation of UNPROCESSED WOOD and wood products (firewood, chips, mulch, wreaths, etc.) from susceptible trees in infested areas."
