Different generations of tree-cutting tools have gathered at Tenmile Creek Park for a day of chopping wood to bring warmth to the community. âThis is a community partnership between a lot of different entities to provide free firewood to low income folks or people who have disabilities that make it difficult for them to get firewood," says John Beaver, Prickly Pear Land Trust Board President and Church Leader at St. Paul United Methodist Church.
