bladesman123 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Are you allowed to take dead branches and sticks from a wood for a log burner/fire bin? The wood in question is Treeton wood so it isnt private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_words Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I believe not. Generally the wood will still be owned and managed. Sticks and branches may be ignored (not sure nowadays though) but trunks generally are not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The wood will be owned by someone whether it be a private individual or council etc...I suppose technically it would be stealing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopping trees down is going a bit far, i just meant taking the dead wood from the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are still removing items from a wildlife habitat. I don't know where the law stands on such things though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choogling Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The forestry dept used to issue, for a fee, a foragers license for personal users to collect suplus timber check with the local council or forestry commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilypiglet Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 as long as you're not chopping down or removing wood that has obviously been chopped and piled (like the forestry commission piles) then anything else is classed as 'wind-fall' and you can remove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
