Logs on side of road

[Garbanzo62]

So they were doing tree work near me the other day and later I noticed a bunch of logs lying on the edge of the road in the grass. Now that grass is someones property. Would you consider that wood to be 'Free' or would you consider that wood to be owned by the property owner?

I would consider them to be the owner's property until I talked to them about it.

I would consider the wood belongs to the property owner. When the power company in our town cleared ash trees near the powerlines, they chipped the tops and the log belong to the property owner.

One can get the ownership information of a parcel of land by going to https://koordinates.com/data/category/cadastral/?geotag=global/north-america

or just google “cadastral” and your county or state.

Most of the time they just rot. I got one that was in the road few years ago. Nice Cedar One too. Burned Great.

Yes owned by the property owner however nothing says you cannot ask them.

Most I ask are eager for me to pick up wood

I would knock on the door and say I live in the neighborhood. Do you have plans for the wood? I would be glad to take them away if you don't
