FIREWOOD
|
|
|
About ten percent of the population uses firewood as its primary source
of heat. Northwest firewood comes from standing hardwood species or
from slash left from timber sales. The amount of slash available varies
from year to year depending on the amount of timber sale activity and
the demand for chips. Some communities restrict firewoord use during
times of poor air quality.
