Winters in Maine are infamous for their brutal temperatures and harsh weather, which is why many of us Mainers tend to put off preparation for that four-letter word (S-N-O-W) which is unfortunately just off the horizon here in October.
The cost of keeping warm
In fact, our beautiful state is one of the four coldest states in the nation. That means those of us living here need to take our heating systems seriously. However, as fossil fuel prices continue to increase it can feel like staying warm is a luxury you simply can’t afford.
So what’s the answer? Look no further than to one of Maine’s oldest industries: Timber.
Simple, affordable, traditional
Wood as heating fuel is, and has historically been, the cheapest heating source per BTU available on the market, with the Maine Governor’s office estimating cord firewood to cost a mere $15.91 per million BTU on average (as of September 23, 2024).
At Treeline, you’ve got options
We are pleased to offer quality, locally sourced cord firewood in a variety of types and species. Whether you’re looking to stoke a campfire in the woods during a family camping trip with our cut and split camp wood; or keep your family dry, warm, and healthy by heating your home with our affordable and efficient hardwood firewood, we’ve got the wood fuel products that will best suit your needs!

But is firewood sustainable?
We are fortunate to live in the most densely forested state in the country, with the United States Forest Service estimating that about 83% of Maine’s landmass is covered by forests. As a company which centers itself around the forest product industry (and which employs many outdoor recreation enthusiasts), we’re dedicated to keeping that percentage of forested land as high as possible.
That’s why Treeline is committed to utilizing practices which help not only maintain but grow our forests in Maine. Thanks to these modern industry practices, the net growth-to-removal ratio of trees in Maine forests have steadily increased over the years, meaning that Maine forests are producing more new and healthy trees than are harvested every year.
Not only that, but wood fuels are considered a renewable energy resource, which means that, unlike fossil fuels, the sources of wood fuels can be replenished and maintained as a constant fuel supply for years to come.
