GabriellaG54, trees are not necessarily being cut down for log burners. We have a garden with some old trees which had got too big for safety and had to be cut down, and they will keep us in logs for years, as well as providing some dead and rotting wood for habitats. Also, if we have heat from the wood-burning stove, we don't need to use so much gas to heat the house. What would you want us to do with the wood instead of burning it?
The heating comes on with a thermostat and has been on a few times over the past couple of weeks, but we've only had a couple of mornings with frost so far. Jumpers on though!
