A free University of Alaska webinar set for 1 p.m. on April 29 will demonstrate ways to shorten the time for turning spruce and birch trees into dry firewood.
Georgia Houde will discuss the findings of the study conducted by University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) researchers Jessie Young-Robertson and Matt Robertson in a free webinar from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Houde works with the researchers in the Alaska Boreal Forest Soils Lab.
Young-Robertson and Robertson are affiliated with the UAF Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. They studied when to harvest trees in Interior Alaska for firewood and how the timing affects how long it takes the wood to dry. Choosing the right season for harvesting and processing firewood can reduce drying time by up to six months.
