Alder, any market other than biomass?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. 

 I have been approached about coppicing some alder trees. I know that alder is reputedly one of the best woods for making charcoal and also from searching on this forum some members here like to mill it. 

But what I want to know it, has anyone successfully cut, extracted and sold it for more than firewood prices? 

Thanks, 

John

It depends what you call firewood prices.  I buy decent Alder sawlogs for about £75 per ton delivered.
