Noob alert! Need UK ID help please.

Hi can anyone help with this? Thinking there maybe 3 different kinds in the pile...... Aslo wondering about the yellowish colour to some of them, they are the most heavy.

Scored these after some felling under power lines on motorway verge. Twigs been chipped but trunks left, does this make it free for the taking seeing as it will probably just rot away if left?

Cheers

Looks like some kind of maple to me.

Thanks for your help.

free...Norwegian wood...isn't it...

I can't even guess, since you have many species of trees in England that are not quite the same as the ones here...

OK, I will guess - the white wood is Norway Maple, and the orange colored wood is Callery Pear.

Hi,
I would say the whiter looking wood is sycamore and the yellowish wood possibly hawthorn, both good burners especially the hawthorn after 2 years seasoning .

Trivia, neither the American Sycamores, or the European Sycamores are really sycamores. Sycamore is a biblical tree, a member of the fig family. European sycamore is indeed a Maple, while the American Sycamore is a member of the Plane tree family. To add to the confusion, Wikipedia notes that in Scotland, the European sycamore is also called a plane tree...

It's no longer free for the taking; It's already been took.
And welcome to the forum. There are several posters here that hail from the UK.

One thing I can say for certain is that the wood in the photo isn't seasoned. Split it and stack it in the sun for a year or two and it will burn really well. Oh, wait, you don't have sun over there. In that case, stack it in the fog for a while and hope for the best.
