Temperatures are dropping and thermostats are going up! As heating bills start to rise, more people are looking into heating their homes with wood. Heating with wood can save you money while helping the local economy. It also has enormous environmental benefits over oil and other fossil fuels, including lower transportation needs and reduced environmental impact of extraction, and it leads to better management of our forests and results in near zero net carbon emissions. The key to making the most of this precious resource is proper harvesting and employing best burn practices so that emissions are kept at a minimum, efficiencies are as high as possible, and it can be sustainably harvested for generations to come.

If you now heat with firewood or pellets, or if you’re interested in changing over to this renewable energy source, this seminar is for you. Come learn about buying and drying firewood, best burn practices, proper maintenance of wood stoves, and an overview of the latest high-efficiency technology now available.
