To host a Boy Scout "Pioneering" activity, I need to find a couple/few dozen poles. Any thoughts on who to contact that might have pine poles, or such? Looking for something light enough for teens to handle but strong enough to build bridges and the like (using lashings).
Not looking for lumber, just poles. I think this stuff just goes in the chipper when woods get cleared, but don't know and figure there are Neanders who do. FYI - I'm in the Chicago suburbs.
Lashing poles with a notch or two counts as woodworking, right?
Thanks for any ideas.
