Most of our local sawyers (Md / va) don’t want eastern cedar. Either diameter is too small or they are embedded with fencing leftoversNo longer that it takes to cut a tree, that’s thousands of trees. Good market around here for cedar wood. Maybe have a band sawer cut on shares help pay for your tree saw, reduce tree waste volume? Bird houses, feeders, carpenter bee traps made from small lumber cedar.
Shaving mill to market cedar shavings?
Don’t throw money away since you are already doing the hard part of cutting down and moving the trees.
Burning is getting harder to do and has risk and liability. Conservation now recommends piles to help support wildlife. Been enjoying seeing a family of foxes from the house this winter. The pile gives them protection from coyotes.
