Click here for: Oak & Firewood Removal Guidelines
Gambel Oak makes fantastic firewood. Those small logs offer several advantages over pine.
- Up to twice the BTUs per pound.
- Dense, so each pound is considerably smaller.
- Many of the dead trees have no bark, so smoke is also limited.
The LCF HOA is actively encouraging removal of dead oak from the common areas - either for firewood or as a community service.
IF YOU'RE REMOVING OAK OR OTHER VEGETATION, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE DEAD BRANCHES OR OTHER LADDER FUELS BEHIND YOUR NEIGHBORS' HOMES. MOVE THEM TO A DESIGNATED BURN PILE.
