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 Dr. Rick Harper (Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst) as he outlines the existence of known wood banks and explore the potential for continuing collaboration and research.
