Thanks Bob glad to see u back. I'm gonna do something more asking around. IV ask a few ppl so far no luck.Tell your neighbours and friends - Facebook, other social media
By the side of the road.
Local tree loppers and city council people
Your location in your profile doesn't tell me whether you're close enough for me to help, but here's an idea. If there are national or state forests anywhere nearby, you can look into the prospect of getting a firewood harvesting permit. They're usually fairly cheap. Decent sized trees get knocked down or broken off in high winds and the local government forester will mark some for firewood harvesters. Sometimes you can call them and ask them to mark a particular parcel or track. Sometimes they will just tell you that the wood better not be green. Skidding the logs out can be rough if they are far from the roads you are allowed to drive on, but you can mill on site and you can't beat the price. They will want you to take the slabs you mill, but you can leave the tops. Sometimes, others who have cut there before you will leave the big stuff because they don't want to or can't split it.
I live in eastern NC @ Mount Olive thanks for the information cedar. If u are close by maybe we could work as a team.Your location in your profile doesn't tell me whether you're close enough for me to help, but here's an idea.

Yeah that's a long way. I'm also @ 15 mi from cliffs of the neuse state park. Our church camps there twice a yr.That's a good bit too far from me. I'm in Michigan. Looks like you're about 40 miles from the Croatan National Forest and the Hoffman Forest is closer. Might be worth a look.

I work for the state. With department of health and human stupidity. I might be able to find a way into the parks through a friend, she is over all the crazy houses here. I just work maintenance.State parks might have very different rules. Ours do. The public gets real fussy about what happens in state parks. Then again, if you talk with the managers of state and county parks, they might make sure to set aside any random logs that happen for you.
Work with a guy that was with the D.O.T. he might have a good way to get wood too.I work for the state. With department of health and human stupidity. I might be able to find a way into the parks through a friend, she is over all the crazy houses here. I just work maintenance.
That's good info. I talked to a guy that works for the city of Fremont today, he came by on a brush truck to get some limbs up. Said he would start dropping logs off at the city equipment barn. He loves the idea said he hates burning them big bas#@&ds! He just finished burning a 19 ft pine that was 20 or 22 in he wished I had talked to him last week.
