There are enough trees being cut down in suburban environments as it is, tree workers will likely be pleased if you come and give them a helping hand and remove some of their “waste” as payment. This goes for fire wood , bow staves, Flowers, bark fiber, etc. You wouldn’t believe the amount of good materials we throw through a wood chipper. In Germany a lot of the sizeable pieces are taken to the saw mill, and the smaller debris is chipped and then used in furnaces to make power. Quite a resource that’s largely untouched in Australia. Here it’s pretty much all turned into mulch and left to decompose, then sometimes used as garden mulch. Almost criminal when you know what beautiful straight solid timber goes in to make something that’s not in demand like garden mulch. Sometimes I try to take good wood home but it’s not overly practical a lot of the time.
If you have interests in woodworking and other plant based resources I would recommend getting in contact with a local tree worker. You never know what you might score for nothing.
