And here we are back to burning wood for home heat again. Anybody remember when all the wood stoves in Riverdale were outlawed due to smoke pollution? And how does wood or Biomass as it’s called today get a pass from CO2 emissions? But these are all long-term arguments to be fought another day. In the mean time, when a subdivision like Riverdale or Wolf Creek requires wholesale evacuation due to fires – where is everybody going to go? There is not adequate facilities to temporarily house all the people in one of the seniors’ residences for a week or two, so where will an entire subdivision’s populace of residents find a place to stay while rebuilding gets underway?

Coppiced or Pollarded stumps produce a number of growth shoots. These shoots grow back fairly straight with minimal intervention. As for how this helps save splitting wood. That all depends on when you harvest them. If you harvest the stump 1-3 years after the initial cut you’ll have thin canes suitable for wicker work or fence hurdle making. If you harvest the stool 5-10 years after the initial cut, you’re left with 3-5″ diameter sized wood, which for most heating uses does not require splitting. Harvest times depend on tree species & desired use. Birch, Hazel, Poplar, Linden, Locust, all grow pretty fast. With these it may be possible to harvest a winters worth of firewood that doesn’t need split, every 3 years. Depending on climate & growth conditions.
