As winter is closing in, and my required 6-cord-wood-supply isn't even half filled, I'm debating on questionable activities.
Maybe 2 months ago, the local main tree service company took a week to cut a bunch of trees along a main connecting road in the hills. (This road has steep side-hills and a six inch shoulder.) I thought they were making a firebreak from the recent fires, but the quantity/layout didn't add up...not even for powerline clearance reasons.
So now there are between 60-70 trunks from 1-3 foot diameter Oak and Fir splayed about on the steep slope.....just.....sitting there.
It really hurts to see private property trees along a Caltrans-owned road, purposely downed yet purposely left to rot. They chipped and hauled off every spec of branch, so no nutrients can time-reasonably return to the forest.
I've been daydreaming of harvesting this in a questionable fashion...but logistics leave it quite impossible.....
SSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
