I'm in Northern Indiana, in a rural area, and the local tree trimmers will drop off dump truck loads of tree trunks just for the asking. The emerald ash borer has made for a surplus of available wood. My neighbor must have well over 20 tons of logs in their side yard. However the wood has to be cut, split, and dried and I don't think they have all of that figured out. He is just now cutting and splitting wood that was dropped off this summer.
