I've been doing a bit of reading on this. I saw someone selling collected wood on ebay; not exclusively for aquarium use.
Is it legal to collect wood? From what I've read, the general idea is that the wood belongs to someone. The person who owns the tree or the land it's on, for example. So, you can't go rummaging around, even on common land, and take what you like. However, it seems you used to be able to buy a license that allowed you to collect wood from forests.
I never worried about this in America, as there was enough wood to go around, but living in London is a bit different. I'm asking for clarification and discussion.
