Sourcing trees for firewood

lombardy is all i burn,apart from the midnight oil

I'd just ask the local tree lads, wont do any harm. I've just given 5 ton of pop away today, most other small firms around here dont have the space or time to store and split timber. A lot of them pay to get rid of it.

I've tried the local tree firms and some are positive about it but are yet to yield much of use. I've got my eye opn a load of stuff that was cut about 2 years ago and has been left in the grounds of a local hospital. Just need to find out who I contact and then I'm in there. There must be 50+ tonnes of hardwood most probably Beech and Oak looking at the rest of the trees.

Would you be interested in purchasing firewood logs in bulk for resale to your local customers?

 

Nice little turn-over without any of the hard work. And, most importantly, logs are available on demand.

I got told 'no' so now looking for another source. Was thinking of contacting some local tree surgeons to see if they have anything they've cut. Would they be looking for money for the wood or would they see it as me maybe doing them a favour by taking it off their hands.?

 

If youre in or near Kent I maybe able to help, for a price of course.
