You can buy logs and firewood or fireplace wood from ecologically certified areas of the Hamburg state forests.
Please note that logs cannot be sold abroad.

As a sawmill, timber trade and end user, you can choose from a wide range of round timber (oak, beech, alder, maple, Douglas fir, pine).
In addition to standard dimensions, individual dimensions are also possible. Many grades are available during the felling period (October to March).
Delivery is free forest, within 14 days depending on the size of the order and the time of year.

The supply of firewood differs in the respective district forester's offices depending on the tree species available and depends on the felling times. The wood is usually offered as round wood in 1 meter or longer. In some district forester's offices it is possible to purchase the wood sawn and split.
