Does any one know where it is legal to collect firewood, or if I can get a permit?

I have a national forest across the street, and often see buraks out there loading dead and downed wood onto horse carts. The in-laws tell me its illegal.

There is alot of logging slash out there that I would like to go pick up.

In our gmina you apply to the gmina office and they tell you exactly which tree you're allowed to fell. Then you get in there with your buddies, saws and axes, beer and a horse plus chains to get the bugger out! Forestry management would require trees are allowed to rot into the earth - hence restrictions on collecting fallen wood or fallen trees.

Go to the forestry lodge in Sopieszyno, next village to you on the road to wejherowo. Ask for Pan Tadek, he speaks and understands a bit of English. Ask about a chitty called an " Assiignata " ( Polish spelling is probably wrong ), this costs a few zlotys but you get given an area in the forest where you can pile up all the dead wood. Then the forester inspects what you have and you pay accordingly ( cheap ).

Or ........ try your own forestry guy in Szemud.

it wont be dry for this winter anyway, you might have a shot with silver birch but not many other woods will suffice
