Staves Galore! Holy Mackerel
« on: February 02, 2012, 05:43:39 pm »
I just returned home from a trip to the archery store and was pressed for time as I passed the results of a mile or so of tree trimming by the power company. All along the shoulder of the road for over a mile were dozens and dozens of five to six foot long, 4"-6" diameter saplings of all kinds of New England trees. Hickory, Locust, Birch, Hornbeam, Maple, Ash, Elm.

I am debating going back with a friend and his truck to scavenge. I think the wood is on the right of way and not private property.

decisions, decisions...

Dont wait long. The wood stovers will beat you to it.

The power right of way is the property of the Power Company. You might ought to ask permission first...or make a midnight run!  ;)

and do hurry. They will be back to chip it on the double.

After the ice storm in Maine toward the end of the last century, the DOT got federal money that they wasted cutting ALL the black locust along I-95. I tried to get permission to get some and the answer was NO, it's all under contract. One size fits no one government job.

Had no idea the right of way is power company owned. Ive just went and took it and no one has ever said anything. i load it up in front of them and they dont say anything. guess thats just saluderville for ya.

I have found most crews will let you have it because it means less for them to clean up, chip, haul away. ;)

Does the power company own the land they use? I thought they have easement rights? My land has the Tennessee gas line thru it and They have an easement,my neighbor(the moron) even has a fence across the gas line!  I do my tree hunting on the power lines as well,they gonna bust me for tree napping?

The easement is the right of way. Read the contract that the power company or gas company has. It should be part of your deed.
