http://newjersey.craigslist.org/zip/4625087758.html might be a nice place to go cut at your leisure. prob straight grain forest trees... ..................................... FREE-FIREWOOD!! OAK, HICKORY ETC...... (Blairstown,NJ) © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap (google map) (yahoo map) I have a property that the Department of Forestry marks trees that need to be cut EVERY year. These ARE NOT dead trees...........these trees need to be cut to thin out the forest so that others may grow to their potential. Most trees are 6" or so in diameter. Some are as big as 12" or so in diameter. Anyone that is interested can cut these trees and take all the wood EVERY year if you are dependable. You can usually walk away with 3-5 cords of wood every year. Call for more info. My name is Al (973) 298-twenty-forty-one.
Same in the southeastern part of Pa. I go to Baltimore/DC for scrounges. The fuel money is still a lot less than buying wood and we enjoy it.
