Our community has a good source of wood fuel with timber-related industries in good supply.<BR/><BR/>I have a concern, though, with supporting non-sustainable timber harvesting. We live on 30 acres of land, and directly behind us, a couple of landowners clear cut 130 acres, which included old hardwoods.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>MichaelMichael Mahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178266405071704355noreply@blogger.com
