Dry firewood has been almost impossible to get for months. Corona and gas prices cause scarcity. ‘And all the wood from Staatsbosbeheer goes to Belgium’

Arjans Haardhout in Onstwedde has been sold out since November, the start of the heating season. “It was crazy when the gas price soared last fall. I ran out of dry wood in no time. Now with the war in Ukraine, the gas price will of course remain high”, says owner Arjan Strockmeijer.
