Hi Ron,
</div>=20
<div>
    Woodlots, as with most matters, are best managed with an =
open mind so one is free to react to circumstances as they arise; unconstra=
ined by mental dogma. For many years I took the leave it alone approach on =
one woodlot and that turned out to be a disaster; many large trees over and=
hidden in a jungle of fir regrowth such that it would be foolhardy to walk=
there without a chainsaw.
</div>=20
<div>
    By extracting only selected trees for firewood from overs=
tocked areas one has the highly unusual situation of having your cake and e=
ating it too; heat with zero net carbon release (and in best situations pro=
bably negative carbon release).  When trees are freed of excessive com=
petition in an otherwise  favorable context they will often capture mo=
re carbon per year than the two or three initial trees combined.
</div>=20
<div>
    Much has been written about forests capturing carbon perm=
anently if they are left alone; nope. Forests burn and whatever dies in a f=
orest will eventually be released as carbon. The only way to have that cake=
and eat it too is by careful thinning of overstocked stands.
</div>=20
<div>
    And like it or not, a woodlot may require some cutting wh=
en trees blow over across roads. In the North Alton lot trees are still goi=
ng over which were weakened in Dec 2013 and by Arthur in 2014.
