Another option is checking in with one of the timber companies. You will either have to make a few phone calls to get the right person, or have someone on the inside. Willamette Industries used to be pretty good about this, but the compamy that bought them out seems to limit acces to the land a bit more. The nickel ads, and other local papers have u-cut adds. Some are reasonable while others are outragous, but often times it is nearly the only way to get hardwoods. Either way you go, make darn sure you know what the rules and regulations are, or that cheap firewood will end up costing you the farm.
