Wood banks & Urban Forestry: Exploring the Relationship
In recent years, wood banks have arisen to provide free firewood to fuel-poor households as means of offsetting winter heating costs. Wood banks also offer a number of community-based benefits including the potential to derive utility from excess urban wood generated through routine arboricultural practices, like pruning & tree removals. Join Drs. Jay Dampier (WI DNR) and Rick Harper (Univ of Massachusetts) as they outline the existence of known wood banks and explore the potential for continuing collaboration and research.
