What do you normally do with extra wood? If you burn it or send it to a landfill, you need to know that there are more eco-friendly options to deal with it. Recycling your surplus wood preserves forests. Trees significantly affect our air quality, and they provide habitats for many different animals. One of the easiest ways to use words scraps is for creating, repairing or inventing items for your home. For example, you can always make bird

or bat houses and squirrel feeders out of wood, which will support your backyard wildlife. If you are more creative and handy with tools, you can create personalized holiday ornaments or toys. Sheets of wood can be sanded and stained so they can be used as trays or cutting boards. Also, don?t forget to use apple, oak or hickory tree wood to smoke meat.
