Firewood

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

Purchase of firewood in various forms of processing.

The following forms of provision are common:

Firewood in short or long form (2 to 20 meters), delimbed, stored on a path accessible by car, so-called "pile wood".

Firewood to make yourself, i.e. whole logs or parts of logs lying in the forest, not delimbed, so-called "flat lots".

Plywood in 1 meter lengths, fresh from the forest (not dried); processing is very cost-intensive.

Fresh firewood, cut to stove lengths of 25 or 33 centimeters and NOT dried. This wood still needs to be dried/stored.

Stove-ready firewood, cut to stove lengths of 25 or 33 centimeters and dried to less than 20 percent water content in accordance with the Small Combustion Plant Ordinance

The forestry offices and forest districts of Landesforsten Rheinland-Pfalz generally only offer "Polterholz".

To private and public companies that provide firewood in the desired processing form. Contacts can be found in the Yellow Pages, on the Internet, etc. You can research the contact information of the forestry office responsible for you by clicking on the following link, then selecting your home region and clicking on a forestry office near you in the detailed map that opens.

Forestry offices (Rhineland-Palatinate State Forests)

It may be necessary to fill out firewood order forms at the forestry offices. In any case, a binding order is necessary. Some forestry offices auction off the firewood so that no order is possible/necessary.

If you intend to cut your own firewood with a chainsaw in the state and municipal forests of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, you must have the appropriate expertise in handling chainsaws. In the interest of your safety and health, the forest ranger responsible for you must therefore check your expertise before you start your self-cutting activity.

The necessary expertise in handling chainsaws can be demonstrated by

certified participation in a chainsaw course that corresponds to the minimum content of DGUV Information 214-059 or
professional activity that requires regular use of the chainsaw

must be proven. The certificate of competence must be provided by every person who carries out chainsaw work.

If you are interested in a chainsaw course, you can contact the nearest forestry office or forest district in your area or any other provider of such courses known to you.

Please remember that in public forests you must carry logging permits and the chainsaw course certificate with you when processing and removing wood.
