FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(1013 E 3rd St) FreeWoodChips.net announces the launch of a new website designed to bring homeowners looking for wood chips together with tree services having these materials. Wood chips may be used in a variety of ways around a property, including as mulch and livestock bedding, yet tree services often pay landfill fees to dispose of them. With this free service, homeowners and tree services alike benefit.
"Homeowners often purchase wood chips to mulch around flower beds, trees or landscaped areas of their property. The wood chips help to retain moisture in the soil, prevent the formation and spread of weeds and halt soil erosion. Depending on the amount of area to be covered by the mulch, homeowners may find they spend hundreds of dollars on this product, which may be obtained for free through local tree services," Jason Writz,

For example, every animal prefers a comfortable sleeping area, and wood chips are a great option. The livestock owner saves money by using this option and can remove soiled chips and replace them regularly with the help of this service, doing so at no cost to them.
"In addition, wood chips add nutrients to the soil as they decompose. This allows a lawn to flourish and plants to thrive. When a homeowner finds they have muddy areas they need to cover, the wood chips are of great help as well. They prevent dirt from being tracked into the home and other structures on the residence by providing individuals with a clean place to walk," Writz continues.
Even those individuals who don't own property or livestock find they can make use of free wood chips. The chips are great for use in a wood smoker and produce delicious meals. Woods perfect for this use include apple, oak, maple, mesquite and hickory. Others opt to include the wood chips in their compost pile, as a brown or carbon layer. Doing so boosts the nutritional aspects of the finished
Fire plays a huge role in natural forests. The let it burn policy allows natural fires to burn unless, they threaten people, property, or endangered species. This policy allows the years and years of kindling that has fallen and piled up on the forest floor to burn up in smaller fires, instead of having huge devastating fire like the ones that burning for months in 1910 and 1988. When the west was first settled, forests were thinned by lumber companies that logged the trees and burned the logging debris, and by ranchers looking to increase pasture land. The last herder coming out of the mountains would set a fire to ensure good forage for the next year.
How Did The Environment Affect The Native American Indians With Particular Reference To The Woodland Indians?

Across the world people rely on the natural environment around them for many things: food, medicine, crafts, shelter, etc. Although in the Western world we are quickly forgetting the importance of the natural resources that nature provides us with, many people still rely on nature for their basic necessities. Non-timber forest products are gathered all over the world, both to serve the individual, and to sell on a larger market. People from all walks of life gather NTFPs, from those just picking some berries on a hike for a snack to people who rely almost solely on these products for their food, medicine, or livelihood.
The Adirondack Indians knew what they were doing when they harvested the inner bark of Eastern White Pines as a valuable food resource. Pines are naturally procured in great quantities, and are quite nutritious. Knowing what parts of the pine tree are edible and how to prepare them could very well save your life. There are many parts of the pine tree that can help you out of a hungry situation.
Firewood storage takes up a lot of space. It also takes several hours to collect each day and when burnt it produces a lot smoke which is harmful to local residents.
Taking wood from rainforests and old-growth forests is detrimental to the environment and society. However, it is possible for us to have sustainable wood if we make an effort.
Biochar, an organic additive for soil amendment, influences to improve soil health, thereby, increasing crop yields and productivity through reduced soil acidity, and minimizing the needs of some chemical and fertilizer inputs (Glaser et al 2002 and Lehmann and Rondon 2006). Lehmann et al (2003), and Steiner et al (undated) further informed of rich moisture after the use of biochar as a soil amendment probably due to sorption property of biochar that retains more water, nutrients and agrochemicals in soils for utilization of crop thus reducing leaching and run-off to ground and surface waters. Although, biochar particles resemble with charcoal, the process of preparing this differs from the formers; and, widely used as a useful ingredient
at garden centers. These make a neat finish to the garden bed and will eventually improve the condition of the soil. These may last for one to three years or more depending on the size of the chips or how well composed the
Most of trees are private property, but that does not mean that they are not part of the community also. Since trees are everywhere, there is a lot of planning that goes into the placement of trees so that they benefit everyone. Trees provide people with privacy for their homes and yards. Trees also serve an architectural function as well. Many architects use trees to improve the looks of a businesses and public areas to make people more at home.
centuries. Today with an increasing population the amount of wood available has declined seriously in recent decades. People have been harvesting wood to cultivate land, burn, and for the use of raw materials for industry (Urquhart 2014). The estimated amount of deforestation taking place is twenty million hectares per year (Urquhart 2014). Climate change and global warming are just a few of the problems associated with the degradation of our forests.
Choosing the right type of wood is important to the success of chip carving. Common choices are Basswood, Butternut and Eastern white pine. Basswood is a firm, inexpensive hardwood. It is suitable for most other styles of wood carving as well. Butternut is a coarse textured, moderately lightweight hardwood. It suits this style quite well. Eastern wh...
First we are going to take a look at where brown paper bags come from. Paper comes from trees - many, many tress. The industry of logging is huge and the process that is used to get that tree into a paper bag at the grocery story is a long one that usually takes a heavy toll on the planet. The trees are first found, and then marked and cut dow...
The diversity of trees from soft wood to hard wood is found in the forest in Indonesia. The local people utilize their natural resources (wood) for construction, furniture and handcrafted goods to generate more revenues. Other than exporting goods to the world, they are also made use of it for personal benefits.
