  Wood Green - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Wood Green - or "the Green" as it is known to some of its residents - is a place in the London Borough of Haringey.
In 1894 Wood Green was created as an urban district, and later a municipal borough, of Middlesex.
In 1965, under the London Government Act 1963, the Municipal Borough of Wood Green was abolished and its area merged with that of the Municipal Borough of Tottenham and the Municipal Borough of Hornsey to form the present-day London Borough of Haringey.

 Study endorses wood as 'green' building material
In the Minneapolis example, steel framing, compared to wood, used 17 percent more energy; caused 26 percent more global warming potential; caused a 14 percent higher level of air emissions of concern; more than 300 percent, or triple the level of water emissions of concern; and had about the same solid waste disposal impact.
Wood had a particular value in addressing the global warming issue, the data indicate.
The growth of wood in renewable forests works to "sequester" and remove carbon from the atmosphere, and fewer carbon emissions are created in the processing needed to produce wood products than their steel and concrete counterparts.

Wood content, for example, may come from trees harvested from a monoculture forest, which decreases the wildlife diversity and increases pest populations.
However, green wood products generally excel in the efficient use of small, second-growth trees of lesser-used species, such as aspen and poplar.
Geoff Jones from the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests says, "Green certification is a natural evolutionary response to public and professional concerns." His organization manages the Monadnock forest, a recently certified forest operation in New Hampshire.

 Green wood fencing
If you nail the fence boards up and they are green, as they dry quickly, there's about a 50% likelihood that you'll get a split at every spot where you have a nail.
So, it is better to dry the wood a little before nailing it or pre-drill the holes in any species prone to end checking.
Green posts would dry in place and often develop cracks where there is a nail and eventually the fence boards would not be well fastened.
