I have never burned a tree unless it was for heat and/or cooking. I have cut many, many dead and poorly placed trees down, it's inevitable unless you live in a desert. For the past few years they are or have been reclaimed by nature without my help unless I needed what they give. "Natural" carbon reclamation of their material has been
very inconvenient and I hope it has been worth the hassle. I just wish the chipper was still working, especially for the juniper (often called "cedar"). I could really use some more mulch for the pathways, although oak wilt has made the whole reclamation process
extremely inconvenient.
Someday I'll post a pic of the trench all the cut trees are in, although it's kind of depressing compared to all the pics of lovely flora in this thread. Here's something pretty cool, in the flesh...
