Yes if you supply in loads of 2 cube or more. Think there is also form you are supposed to supply to tell the client how to dry the logs

Legally speaking you would be in trouble.

 

But it would be council enforcement as apposed to woodsure.

 

Does this apply in Scotland or only England?

I think we can probably assume the woodsure certification will be expanded or replicated in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Legally speaking enforcement is a local council issue, woodsure have said as much.

 

Whilst I'm not a lawyer, it is a cash in hand arrangement, maybe advertise it not as firewood specifically. Eco log piles for "bugs", cut small to maximize bug numbers etc.

I suspect that those with a knowledge of the regulations will be changing the wording of their ads - the householder who thinks their recently felled tree is worth more than gold will just keep selling it as 'firewood'.

 

Not sure how you would go if you just said 'logs' and never mentioned a use (bugs, firewood, decorative, garden and so on). 2 cu m is a big bug house though - if 'they' decide to come after you then whatever the description I think the quantity will be the proof needed for their intended use.
