    I am not sure how this is “for free”. He is paying in wood. If nobody bites, I guess he will have to switch to money. Good chance somebody takes him up on the offer though making it win / win.

    What is the problem here?

    People just are unwilling to take free stuff. Im always trying to give away free semen and I do most of the work to boot.

    I DEFINITELY know tree guys that would do this. Especially if it’s oak, walnut, or some other decent wood.

    Hell, even my neighbor (who is a retired tree guy) will regularly take down trees for me that he then uses for firewood. I just have to do clean up.

    I am confused on why this cant work.

    Surely cutting down trees for wood can be profitable, otherwise capitalism wouldn’t be doing it.

    Is it so hard for a professional firm to also source their wood from urban areas to save a tree elsewhere?
