Called several forestry services and wood movers, don't want it for pulp wood, its too short, sweet gum logs are 6" too short to be used for rr ties. Can't burn it either. The pulp wood pile is as large as a small house. I have about 30 pine logs as well that I don't need. Not sure what I'm going to do with it.

After a tornado took about 30 acres of oak and pine splintered to point even fire wood burners quit trying to cut . So hired a dozer to push into a winrow and lit one end and drove 1/4 mile and lit the other end let it burn. for a month had smoke from the smoldering of pile of stumps. Now have lots of mulch and grass is growing well.
This is a winter type of burning.

Folks have to pay to have wood hauled away... even Oak.

Ever since the fireplace burn restrictions went into effect, the market for firewood all but evaporated in my Bay Area city.

Get on the forestry forum, there may be some portable millers that would like to have it. A forester might be able to help out finding a market.

Sweet gum and pine both make poor firewood. Best bet other than burning it might be to mulch it.

Wished I was closer. I pile up brush piles all year long then light in the winter and til lthe ashes and char in the ground. Make a good garden spot. I also lake logs t like that and make raised flower and vegggie beads all over the place. When they rot they leave a nice fertile mound.

We do, but some of this is from the April storms, and some from land clearing. There is so much that the county won't touch it, and there is no assistance for undeveloped land owners who suffered storm damage. It has to be a residence or business before FEMA or others will help. I guess I can put out 3 or 4 logs a month for the next few years.
