I recently had a wood burner fitted.
My house has mains gas central heating, but we its a C19th build with a solid wall gable end. We had a lot of problems with condensation & moisture retention in the wall, since the stove has been fitted the wall is dry & the mould hasn't come back. That's good enough for me.
We only use the stove weekend daytimes when the central heating isn't on, it works in conjunction with the CH not replacing it.
Zones/Nick - no, its more like the forestry vehicles ploughing through the trees they don't want (silver birch) leaving them smashed in a foot deep tangled carpet, to get to the prize trees they want. It's an utter mess.
So we're talking about continuous cover forestry here? Obviously getting at the mature trees will require some ground access, but it's definitely lower impact compared to clear-felling and re-planting. Not sure what else you want, there are obvious biogeochemical and ecological reasons for leaving the unwanted wood where it falls. Timber also points out a pretty obvious forestry operations reason. Running a production forest with at least one eye on sustainability is a bit more complicated than just growing and chopping down trees.
