Stock up on wood
YORK Remember the cold
months of winter? In a few months
they will be here again. If you are
adding wood to protir heating
energy for the coming winter, it's
not too early to start thinking about
it. You can, of course, buy wood
and have it delivered ready to use.
But if you lobk around, you can find
other sources too.
“Elm trees killed by Dutch Elm
disease make good firewood”, says
Walter Johnson, Extension forest
resource specialist at Penn State.
But remember to use them the first
winter or before the spring
following the Wee’s death. This
prevents the disease-carrying
beetles from .emerging and in
fecting healthy trees.
You may also be able to get
firewood from dumps and landfills,
but be sure you have the approval
of the landfill authority. As much
as 30 percent of the debris in some
town and city landfills consist of
reusable wood fibers, including the
logs, limbs, and tops of trees
toppled by storms.
Another source of firewood may
be Jhe power companies. They
offer the logs, limbs, and tree tops
that result from their maintenance
efforts. Firewood may also be
available from the national forests
- but check with your nearest
Forest Service District Ranger for
more information. State foresters,
county Extension agents, and
county and city foresters are all
sources -of information on local
firewood.
