In a damp place like that wood is probably a good barrier, something without a lot of chemicals in it. Around here there's often scrap wood somewhere. Avoid sappy pines as those emit acids-? that prohibit growth of other plants so go with something else. Or, if you have to use pine, use straw inside of that. Maybe straw could work?
