Is it unusable as board lumber? Burning it seems a waste.
—it’s largely the small trashy stuff that grows up when nature’s way-fires-don’t get a chance to clear the weeds, so to speak-—
All of the near-by lumber yards have been closed in recent years due to the eco-nuts getting the forest service to deny other logging operations. Hauling in to Montrose, etc. would be very expensive.
If there was an economic value as local firewood, that may have already been offered.
The removed dead trees and brush may not be the best for board lumber ?
Or grind it up. Guinea Pigs like Aspen shavings (pine shavings hurt their feet).
Seems to me they could haul it to the nearest paper mill as pulpwood.
no kidding...
