When trees are cut by utility crews the wood is left on the roadside because it belongs to the land owner. It is NOT free for the taking. If you are in need of help getting wood you can ASK the landowner if it is available. To get information on fuel assistance call Warner Connects NH at 603-456-2053.
If you are the landowner, and have no need for the wood, consider putting out a sign ("free wood") or offer to take it to the Warner Wood Bank by calling 603-456-2298.
The School supply drive organized by Warner Connects NH distributed backpacks and supplies to 87 kids in 12 Kearsarge area towns! All left over supplies will be donated to local schools for them to distribute through the year.
