Managing Small Woodlands for Firewood cover

This publication explains how, through sound management practices, a small parcel of woodland (10-20 acres) can perpetually produce enough wood to meet home heating needs. Goes in depth on developing a woodland management plan, creating a harvest plan, implementing the harvest, legal considerations and includes additional tips for New York small woodland owners.
