Fallen trees
 

There's an apple orchard at the end of my road that went out of business 2
years ago. They cut down most of their trees about a year and a half ago &
sold most of the wood. Every day I drive by & look at the remaining trees
they cut. They're just laying on the ground. Would it be worthwhile to try
to find the owner & offer to clean up some of his land? IOW - is the wood
still good?

Sorry if this seems like a no-brainer, I'm not a lumberjack... I'm not sure
how long trees on the ground like that would still be usable.

Long as it's not rotten, it's good wood.

I have some cherry and apple wood that is five plus years old. If it is in
contact with the ground forget it but anything else is still good stuff.

There's probably going to be some bugs underneath the bark, but that's a
simple problem to solve.
