Trees and the wind.

[richyb]

Anyone else suffering with trees falling all around them? I've spent all day going round my borough removing them from roads and train tracks. The wind is supposed to increase over night as well in the south east so should make for a nice busy day tomorrow.

Yes it would have been nice to have had a summer, but it seems not to have bothered and gone straight to Aumtumn this year! Must be global warming.

True. Well on the upside I've had no one killed by a tree today which is always a bonus. (I won't mention the two streets without telephones though)

What happens to all of the firewood from the trees that get cleared away by the councils?

Most untreated wood gets used in conservation schemes but some gets taken home for peoples fires (staff or public). Don't think me an eco warrior or lentil eater but I tend to use a fair amount of it setting up stag beetles habitats. If you have a open fire though its worth contact your local countryside or tree service and asking if they have any spare. You can get lucky with it. I think I cut up and shifted about 15 tons of it today going by trailer loads and a lot of that we won't be able to put to use.
