However, guys on here are very good people so here it goes. You need to request a permit application from the Forestry guys in Marlborogh (sp). You will complete it and wait. At some point they will send you back a application that says, meet at such a place, at 7:00 and we will give you your lot. Most of the time it is a maple, cherry and birch lot as they save the oak for loggers. Sometimes you will be lucky and get a downed lot that the loggers have already run through. Do NOT get a 5 cord lot unless you either have: a. a lot of time during the 2 months or b. a ATV or Tractor that you are using. I have gotten both (family has been doing this for about 20 years) and the 5 cords suck. We will usually get 2 2 cord lots and go from there. They are HEAVY lots as well. Make sure you plan a road into the lot and bring a good hedge trimmer for the underbrush. As for the power lines, from what I have gathered, these are private property that the company uses not belonging to them. I've been given permission to travel on them (not for cutting) by the owners of the land, not the power companies. You need to find out who owns the land under them.
