Firewood Management

 

Why Burn Firewood?

Burning Firewood can benefit your forest when done correctly.
  1. Rising heating cost
  2. Meet other management goals
    • Wildlife Habitat Enhancement
    • Timber Stand Improvement
    • Sugarbush (Maple Syrup) Management
    • Forest Health
  3. Sense of self-sufficiency
  4. Exercise (No need for gym memberships)

Other Hidden Costs


Firewood costs usually do not include:
  • Your labor (Firewood makes you warm three times:  Cutting, Splitting, Stacking)
  • Danger of felling trees


Hidden Benefits


"A long straight row of firewood standing in the yard in springtime is like money in the bank."

By removing the right trees, you can:
  • Improve value of timber of residual stand
  • Enhance wildlife habitat
  • Enhance forest health
